A late aunt of mine was a matron in a specialist eye hospital, and she laughed when I told her what test I'd been given by the military who had declared me partially colour blind. She then did some tests and said it was total nonsense. When she asked me what form the second and third tests had taken and I said there were no others she simply muttered "amateurs" and told me to forget it.
Anyway, my basic point was that so much depends upon monitor calibration, and most people do not bother with this. I have not bothered on this laptop, although the main PC from which I do my photographic printing is fully calibrated. Here I see a darker shade of red (crimson) but I'll take no bets on it! So really it is down to the colour which cheaver sees...in daylight, as I said.
