Color blindness is primarily caused by mutations in the genes responsible for producing photopigments in the cones of the retina, particularly the genes for red and green photopigments located on the X chromosome. The most common type of mutation is a point mutation, which can lead to the absence or alteration of these photopigments, affecting the ability to perceive certain colors. Since these genes are located on the X chromosome, color blindness is more prevalent in males, who have only one X chromosome.

A man with colour blindness will see red as?
A man with color blindness may have difficulty distinguishing red from green or confusing red with other colors depending on the type of color blindness he has.
Is color blindness continuous?
Color blindness is not continuous; rather, it exists as distinct types and degrees of color vision deficiencies. The most common forms, such as red-green color blindness, can vary in severity, but individuals either have a specific type of deficiency or do not. This means that while the manifestation of color blindness can differ among individuals, it does not represent a continuous spectrum but rather discrete categories of color perception.
