Can’ see color? Don’t use color! A great painting medium that doesn’t use any color is pen and ink. It’s also pretty cheap to get into as all you need is some paper and a pen.

Stick to what you know, get help when you don’t

Technology is your friend. There are countless apps to help you get the name of the colors you can’t see. A great one I use  is Color Blind  Pal on Android.

Painted a pink sky or orange grass by accident? No problem, just pretend you meant to do this from the very beginning. It’s art and if people don’t like it they just don’t get it.
