Handy if we need to check for colorblind designs.<BR/><BR/>As is usually the case, if a gender gets singled out, it comes down to the X chromosome:<BR/><BR/>"The fact that color blindness is so much more prevalent among men implies that, like hemophilia, it is carried on the X chromosome, of which men have only one copy.
