That's a tough one for me, campy. I could share a website for StampinUp color combinations....but I imagine it wouldn't do you any good. I never thought about how difficult certain crafts could be for one who's colorblind. By the way....welcome to the forum!

You are going to have to rely on the color labels on your paints I guess. You will want to use some browns, tans, greens, yellow, black and of course white, maybe some red and some brick color. Base coat most of them in a medium brown all over. Let dry, and take a DRY stiff brush and dip in the tan paint, and rub alot off on a paper towel. Lightly dry brush this over the brown, sometimes adding in some brick red or some yellow or even orange. Make yourself a palette on freezer paper or foil, pour out small (about the size of a quarter) amount, and write near it on the foil what color it is. Will this help?

I would first suggest that you find someone to be there to help you. By looking at pictures of the different houses, they could help pick out the colors with you and give them each a number. There are different shades of each color. And to what degree is your color blindness? For the ones with the most severe case, they can only see grey and green. Others can see faded shades of the other colors. Some can make out very clearly the primary colors. But I would suggest that you use an assigned numbering system for the different colors.
