Colour Blind

This is something that has puzzled me for a while. I always had the dream of being a pilot, & as luck would have it I turned out to be "totally" colour blind....at least that's what the M.O. said. I have never lost my passion for aviation & I know I'll never be able to do the best job in the world for a living. My question is, can I get any sort of lisence (sp?) with my condition? The report reads:

"Previous colour vision testing, with Ishihara Plates, revealed a possible colour vision deficiency. The D-15 test therefore was administered to further investigate, characterize & quantify colour vision perception.
The D-15 test shows a severe deutant colour vision deficiency. This indicates colour confusion with shades of green, grey, blue-green.
The colour vision deficiency is congenital in nature & is expected to remain stable over time".

That said, any opinions/views are welcome.
(Should I be posting this elsewhere?)

Thanks.
