What type of airplane do you do the SODA in? Do you have a choice?
In order to get a color deficiency restriction removed from class 2, you will need to perform a Medical Flight Test with an FAA inspector.

Search around on the site, there are several lengthy threads which discuss this issue.

I would try to get it done as soon as possible. Personally, I would not want to go through all of my training to find out later on that this is going to be an issue that would stop me.

As for the airplane, it is whatever you provide for the flight test.
