It’s not that dragons are colorblind. It’s that the Dragonlands is such a drab place, its inhabitants never developed more than a basic vocabulary to describe colors. A pony can easily tell apart subtle color differences, a dragon can’t. To Ember, Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer are the same color, “purple”.
It also doesn’t help that dragons come in all manner of shapes and sizes, while ponies are pretty consistently the same (relatively speaking). To a dragon, ponies have so little variation in their body shape that they all appear the same. So, it’s not hard to see how Ember couldn’t tell Twilight and Starlight apart.

Eh…most lizards can see more colours than humans can. Geckos can even see colours in the dark. Also, their hearing really isn’t that bad.
Agreed. Although Twi 2.0 is missing her, ‘improved redemption’ patch.
Yeah, it’s called prosopagnosia
Sunset Shimmer - Twilight Sparkle prequel, 0.5
Starlight Glimmer - Twilight Sparkle 2.0
Twiggie - god herself
pony racism works well enough I think.

Save the extra limbs.

Moondancer and Wind Sprint: And me!
Would explain how a new hairdo got Spike to be enamored with Twilight.
