Not that I know of. People with cerebral achromatoptsia seem to be 
living in a world that is "drab" or shades of grey, including loss of 
memory of how the colors ever looked  (see Sacs and Wasserman, "The Case 
of the Colorblind Painter",

)

Likely this is because the different complements are not physically 
separated much in the brain, so damage affects them all (unlike the P 
and M channel separation, which allows damage to motion and color to be 
separate, http://bob.kentridge.info/PDFs/2003/HeywoodKentridge2003.pdf 
). However, this paper suggests a hue-dependent failure:

There is plenty of weird things going on.
