Color-blindness is any abnormality of the color vision system that causes a person to see colors differently than most people or to have difficulty distinguishing among certain colors (www.visionrx.xom).
Color-blindness is gender-based, with the majority of sufferers being males.
Roughly 8% of white males have some form of color-blindness, while the incidence among white females is only 1%.
