So correct old chap, full marks! Really though if these guys are in fact current jet captains thats even worse. It reeks of old school and the fact that these people can't bring themselves to make change a regulation that cannot be justified makes me think that they are just bureaucrats.
The various regulators world wide make regulations that stipulate the medical standards a candidate must meet to pilot an aircraft generally. These standards cannot possibly be guided by cockpit displays because the regulators have only very broard control over how those displays are presented. I would think that if Collins, Honeywell or garmin decided that one of their EFIS displays required X level of color perception to fly that system then they would insert words to that effect in the manual.
