Only ~8% of males (< 1% for females) are red-green 'color blind',

PS. It's 1 in 24 persons to be precise but I know what you mean ;)

Did you miss your morning coffee? :-)

1/12 = 0.08333...
1/24 = 0.04166...

Or are you saying that only ~4% of the males are 'color blind'? Both
Wikipedia (5-8%) and Swedish statistics (~8%) agree with the 8% figure, but
you might live in a population that is closer to the lower value (5% =
1/20).

Not arguing, just like to get the facts straight.

'Persons' can be male or female so 1 in 12 of 1 in 2 are coloublind. AKA 1 in 24
