cones are pigments which are responsible for the sense of colour. since the rods are persistent ih this case, the person will be able to see but would be colourblind ie protanopic

This person would not be able to see very well or even read. They could see broad outlines and movement.

They would still have rods, so they would be totally colourblind.
