No, the term "red-green colorblindness" means that you cannot tell the difference between red and green. There are several different types of colorblindness; red-green colorblindness is the most common kind. For example, another kind is blue-yellow colorblindness, where a person cannot tell the difference between blue and yellow. All types of colorblindness are much more common in men.

What does ''Colorblind'' mean?

colorblind means that colors look like different colors to a colorblind person Colorblindness is caused by a defect in the X chromosome which is why males (XY) are more likely to be colourblind than females (XX). In a female the defect would have to be in both chromosomes, in the male the defect just has to be in one. Most commonly colorblind people cannot distinguish between red and brown or blue and green.

Why cant women be color blind?

Women can be colour blind.AnswerI am a woman who is red--green colorblind. The trait is carried on the X chromosome. Males receive an X chromosome from their mother and a Y from their father. If the X carries the trait of colorblindness, the male will be colorblind. Females need to receive two defective X chromosomes to be colorblind, one from their father and one from their mother. If a women has only one defective X chromosome, she will be a carrier of the trait. My father was red-green colorblind and so was my mother's father, making my mother a carrier of the trait, although she is not colorblind herself. I have two sisters who are not colorblind, as they each received a non-defective X chromosome from my mother. I knew before my son was born that he would be red-green colorblind, as the X chromosome he received from me carried the trait.
