I have heard that Eagle dropped the all-day medical exam, they were the only regional still doing an exam that I know of.

Several majors do an exam, but most are just verifying that you meet FAA 1st. class medical standards. Many majors do not do an exam, notably SWA.

If you have trouble with the color vision, and can only pass with the help of a "sympathetic" AME, you would probably get denied at an airline medical... I suspect they are not going to bend over backwards to accommodate applicants.
