Could DS be colour blind?

My DS is 4 in March and seems confused by colours. He is a bright boy who has grasped letters, phonics, numbers etc really well, he learns other stuff quickly like the names of dinosaurs, his language is great and has a keen enthusiasm for learning new stuff, but despite incorporating colour into every day chat he just isn't showing improvement. It just seems to stump him.

He calls things 'light' or 'dark' and doesn't get primary colours right even.

He's also backed right off doing arts and crafty things when he used to love painting and gluing and scribbling

What age should he know them by and who should we see to get a diagnosis?

Thanks!!

Ds wanted to be a firefighter from very young but that's not going to happen unless they change the lights to shapes or something!!

I think the world has become less friendly to colour blind people! colour is much more prevalent due to computers and printers. At work everything is done in colour - presentations/spreadsheets/graphs whereas 15/20 years ago it would have been black and white
