Are color blindness and blindness the same thing?
No - colour-blindness is the inability of the brain to interpret correctly colours that the eyes see, or maybe the eyes have a defect in their structure that sends the wrong signals to the brain. Blindness (total?) is when the eyes are unable to send visual signals to the brain at all. Maybe the optic nerve is damaged, or the eyes themselves are damaged - there are various medical reasons for the cause of blindness.

What is color deficiency?
Color deficiency is a more accurate term for "color blindness". It is an inability or a reduced ability to detect and distinguish between colors.

Is color blindness external?
color blindness is when people do not have enough rods (certain cells) in their eyes. rods sense color and cones sense light. Males have more rods then cones and females have more cones than rods, which is why females tend to have better color perception and fewer incidences of color blindness then males and why males have better night vision.
