Gene for colour blindness is$X-$chromosome linked. sons receive their $\mathrm{X}$ from their mother, not from their father. Male-to-male inheritances is not possible for $X$-linked traits in humans. In the given case the mother of the child must be a carrier (heterozygous) for colour blindness gene.
