A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetics: Color vision is controlled by a gene on the x-chromosome. Females xx and males xy, making males more likely to be color blind. Of the different types, red/green is the most common, with red being a sub-type of this. You should see an ophthalmologist for an evaluation. If you are just now discovering this, it seems like you are pretty well adapted to your situation.
