In this case if you are colorblind as a woman all your boys are also colorblind. And depending on your husband, your girls are either also colorblind or not, because they inherit either a dominant non-colorblind gene from their father or have two colorblind chromosomes.

Only my son (4-1/2) is colorblind like me. The other two, both girls, are definitely not. I think I read somewhere that if mom is colorblind, her son will definitely be colorblind as well.
