Thats a "how" explanation but not really a "why".
The normal explanation is that seeing colors accurate is less important for males than females.....seeing that your baby has developed a rash or spotting an infection is more important for a mother to have than a father.
The sacrifice in color perception in males is made up by other vision benefits: Males are typically much better at detecting motion and night vision....both skills that would reward hunting.
