People that have color blindness can not determine the color so it looks black and gray. Color blindness is X-linked. The disorder is located on the X-chromosomes. Also it is a recessive disorder. Fathers can not pass x-linked diseases to their sons. One changed copy of gene in each cell causes this condition. Males are affected by X-linked recessive disorders much more often than females, also the female is the carrier.
