Night Rating & colour blind

I want to get a Instrument Rating but due to being colour blind there is a restriction on my licence that does not permit night flying. The CAA have informed me that I need the night rating to be able to start to the IR course. I am not interested in flying at night or in any commercial flying, I want the IR mainly for business trips to Europe. I already hold a IMCr but not much use in Europe. From looking at the new rules it looks like the new IRr will only allow fight in cloud during the journey & not instrument approaches.


I have been told it is possible to obtain a night rating with a safety pilot. Does anyone know anything about this?
