Answer: There is a probability (n.b. NOT certainty) that half of all offspring will be colour blind.

Explanation: The female is XX and as an unaffected carrier we can assign genotype Cc where c is the recessive allele.

The male is XY and colour blind, so genotype cY

Male offspring can be cY or CY so p|colourblind = 50%

Female offspring can be Cc or cc so, again p= 50%

If there is also equal probability of sex of the offspring, there is an overall probability that half the offspring will be colour blind
