I think the FAA accommodates color blindness with some contingencies (extra instrumentation or daylight only). I'd hope USCG would do the same.

Thanks.
The attached link is to Mark Grossetti. He is the guy we all use as CG license consultant. He was in the CG for 20 years and If there is anybody who can answer your question it would be Mark. By the way, I personally know a licensed Capt. who is in a wheel chair. So I do know that the CG can make exceptions in regards to the medical qualifications.
