Given they are different colours I'd say it's impossible to do

What shade of grey is a 3amp fuse, and what shade of grey is a 13amp
one, to someone with colour blindness or those with sight
problems?...

I'd have thought that a person who is aware of their colour blindness
would have the common sense to use other means of discrimination of
fuse ratings, viz the rated current marking on the fuse eg 3, 5, 7 or
13A.
