I can see the line between them if I look closely (it's most noticeable on the sky portion), but that's just a difference between brightness, not hue.

I don't notice a lot of problems from being colorblind, other than doing electrical wiring. If I need to do that, I find that a cheap pair of 3D glasses (the red/blue ones), or just asking my wife about the wire colors, does the trick.
