Color Blindness

Having Retinitis Pigmentosa makes it challenging for me to take the typical color blindness tests.  I tried the Ishihara test at Ishihara Test for Color Blindness and was unable to see any numbers until after I read the answers and looked again.  I was then able to make out the numbers that indicated that I am red/green colorblind.

I wonder if it is more common for people with retinal degenerations to also be color blind.  I looked at some research articles on this but didn’t find anything definitive.  It does seem possible though since RP and color blindness are both types of retinal degenerations.
