Always check Army Regulation 40-501. "Color vision (368.5). Failure to pass a color vision test is not an automatic disqualification. Although there is no standard, color vision will be tested because adequate color vision is a prerequisite for entry into many military specialties. However, for entrance into the USMA or Army ROTC or OCS programs, the inability to distinguish and identify without confusion the color of an object, substance, material, or light that is uniformly colored a vivid red or vivid green does not meet the standard." There isn't another standard other than a lot of stuff for flying duty that you'd fail.
Never fail for the urban legend stories but start at the source. So I'd expect if you can pass vivid red and vivid green, you should be good to go. If a Med type wants to say it's disqualifying, tell him to show you the Reg and what your specialty requirement may be.

1stSgt (Join to see) , I can tell you that CBRN tests for color blindness. Many of the detection methods used require the ability to define different hues. I am sure that other MOS's that have a similar reason for color vision test for deficiency in this area.
