Add a layer on top of the image who show the content of the hue channel with vivid (full saturation) colors. The pixels at hue 0 (no color) are showed in white. This show you at the maximum possible which part of the image is red, green and blue. Colorblind people need probably more info and then can use the RGB decompose who separate the content for each primary channel, red, green and blue. Each layer show what part of the image is around red (from magenta to yellow), around green (from yellow to cyan) and around blue (from cyan to magenta).
