True, color blind people confuse color, simple remedy is to add some simple text next to or on the color.
Not sure this will help... If u looked at a red icon but saw it as a green one, would u read the text? I wouldn't.

Subconsciously you do. The text would be associated with the color. You familiarize with everything when you first load the software and it is new, just like when you first get a new car, afterwards everything is second nature, light switch positions etc.
