If you cannot distinguish red, green, and white, you cannot recognize an
aircraft's position lights, and thus determine it's orientation to you.

You may be correct in theory, but I can't remember the last time I had
to use the red/green orientation to figure out which way the aircraft
was moving. If the lights are moving across your windshield, then you
already know which way the aircraft is moving. If the lights are not
moving, then you better get out of the way.
