Red-green blindness is the most common form of color blindness, affecting the ability to distinguish between red and green hues.
People with this condition see these colors as similar shades, often brownish or muddy.
It results from defects in the eye's cone cells and is far more common in men than women due to its genetic inheritance pattern.
Also called red-green color blindness.
