Colour blindness is a recessive sex-linked traits. Woman have two X chromosomes, men have 1. For a recessive trait to be expressed, both X chromosomes must have the recessive allele. That being said, if the dominant allele is on either X chromosome, the women are normal. So, it's rare for women to be colourblind because it's a recessive trait, they are usually dominant or are just carriers
