my NIECE is color-blind
not a typo -- my 9 year old niece had an eye exam at the school -- they determined she needed glasses and was color-blind.

my sister took her to eye-doctor last week -- and yep -- she needs glasses and is red-green color blind. Color-blindness is more prevelant in males than females -- although rare - some girls/women are also color-blind.

My brother is also red-green color-blind, as was a maternal grandfather.

2. I had always heard the females were never color blind.
I never looked into it so guess I just thought it was true. Guess not and we learn every day.

4. worked with a guy
who was totally color-blind. His wife would sort/arrange his clothes so he knew what went with each other.

we always knew when he had a fight with his wife -- he would arrive at work wearing the most mismatched colors you ever saw

6. My dad's cousins are yellow/blue color blind
All three of the children (2 girls, 1 boy) from my grandfather's sister and her first husband. My grandmother said that she was the first to notice it in the two oldest when they came over and were coloring things a bit creatively.
