Boys. The gene that causes the varying degrees of color blindness is recessive and must be present on the X Chromosome. Since boys have only one X Chromosome, it is more common for boys to be color blind than girls. It is still possible for a girl to be color blind, but it is significantly rarer.
The problem affects 8% of Caucasian males and 0.5% of Caucasian females.

How many percent sons will be color blind if father is colourblind?
Colour perception is carried on the X chromosome. Boys are XY, Girls are XX so in girls, colour perception is enhanced. If colour perception is lost on the X chromosome in boys, the effect is severe and effects between 1 in 12 to 1 in 20 boys. In girls the likelihood of both chromosomes being defective is very slight so colour perception problems in girls are very rare indeed (1 in over 200).
