Dear student
This is because the genes that lead to red–green colour blindness are on the X chromosome (sex-linked).Males have only one X chromosome and females have two. In females, a functional gene on only one of the two X chromosomes is sufficient to produce normal colour vision.
Hope it helps
regards
