No they are not color blind. In fact, they are attracted to the color red which is why they frequent red flowers and they like feeders that have red on them. Many flowers that are red, have a lot of nectar and are tube-like have evolved to attract hummingbirds as their primary pollinator.

I am not sure if they see a full range of color but I know they at least see red.

Yes, hummingbirds see in UV (ultra-violet) which makes brighter colors such as red, orange, and yellow stand out to them.
