Yup. The eye contains four detectors, one for brightness, and one each 
for the three primary colours which I believe are Red, GREEN and Blue.

I've never heard of the brightness detector being missing - this gives 
us night vision and our sense of how bright the light is. I think any of 
the other three missing gives us our typical colour blindnesses.

And I'm guessing here, but I suspect Red/Green blindness is caused by a 
missing/faulty red detector, so the green detector strays into the red 
spectrum.

(Insects and birds, I believe, have a fourth colour detector for 
ultra-violet, while other animals have an infra-red detector.)
