As a red-green colourblind male. I'd temper that statement to don't mix red and green for encoding information. Ideally don't use colour as the sole means of encoding information anywhere.

The experience of colourblind people can vary wildly but for me other colours are harder to discern than red vs green. Blues, purples and pinks all are all very tricky.

If however you want to use red and green for some styling element, knock yourself out!

You are in many ways correct. Except that styling often crosses over into encoding information without the styler realizing it.

Exactly, I'm also slightly red-green colorblind, but I have only really have difficulty with green and yellow when I need to differentiate them quickly.
