The father is X^HY for colorblindness while the mother is X^hX^h for colorblindness, and when put in a Punnett Square the female children could only be X^HX^h. Because none of the daughters would be recessive for color blindness, none of them would be color-blind, whether they were dwarfs or not, so the answer is 0%.
