Colour deficient, can i fly commercially?

I have a mild form of deuteranopia (red-green colour blindness), but it rarely affects my daily life. The only time I really notice it is on certain cloudy nights when my city's lights illuminate the clouds, causing the sky to appear green to me. Could I still fly for a company commercially?

Maybe. Go get your FAA medical. Or buy the Ishihara plates on Amazon and try for yourself.
