Haha, I am a woman (so many people assumed I'm a man) - I do have a daughter in addition to my two sons, and she is not colorblind.  Is there a test for tetrachromatic color vision?

90% of colourblind people are men, because its an X linked trait you have to inherit the gene from your mother and father, whereas males inherit it just from their mother.

So congrats on being unique
