Could someone be colorblind in only one eye?

Not really: Color blind is in the gene which effects both eye. If one eye lost its color perception then it needs an ophthalmologist evaluation. This monocular lost could be secondary to optic nerve problem.

Yes: Acquired color blindness or change in color perception in one eye could be related to a retinal or optic nerve issue. A new change like this deserves further evaluation.
