I don't know your personal situation, but did you try to take some extra color vision tests and maybe get a Statement Of Demonstrated Ability (SODA)?

I'm also colorblind and received one when I started flying back in 2001. A few years later I actually misplaced my medical certificate and got a copy from the FAA. They were very cordial and actually told me I no longer need to even carry the SODA. My AME is familiar with my situation and gives me the Isihara color test knowing I won't pass it, but he gives me a "spot check" of colors and signs me off. This is one of the few areas the FAA seems very lenient...
