Look dear,colour blindness is commonly congenital.It's incidence is 2% in males &0.2% in females,so yes we can say it's x-linked but not sex linked.It may be total[rare]:objects appear black & white only,or partial :one of the 3 1ry colours is affected,red,green or blue blindness,but it may be acquired due to optic neuritis[central scotoma for red & green]or papilloedema[central scotoma for blue]I hope I could help.

There is more than one kind of color blindness. Red/green color blindness is considered a sex linked trait because it affects mostly males. However, blue/yellow color blindness is divided equally between makes and females and so is not a sex linked trait. One of our daughters is color blind - she has difficulty with shades of green, brown, purple, and blue.
These sites give quite a bit of information. I hope this helps.

The most common kind of inherited colorblindness, red/green is sex-linked. The defective gene is carried on the X chromosome and since a boy will not have a normal X to balance it, he will be color blind. Unless the father and mother both carry the genes, all boys will have normal color vision and are not even carriers.
When the father is colorblind, all girls will be carriers and the boys willl be fine and not carriers.
There are some rarer forms that are autosomal, and color blindness can even result from Thyroid diseas later in later life.
But as for inherited color blindeness, your answer is "yes."
