Colorblindness is the inability to perceive differences between some of the colors that others can distinguish. It is most often of genetic nature, but may also occur because of eye, nerve, or brain damage, or due to exposure to certain chemicals.

First opinion. Being color blind is merely a disablilty when a being cannot tell a color from a color, they do see it corectly, such as purple is still purple in their eyes, they just get mixed up with the colors, i.e. say the grape was green, they may think green=blue, its just a disablility in their minds, and to answer your question :- No, someone cannot go color blind unless they are born with it. Second opinion The above is not really accurate, color blindness can be caused by cataracts, Both my parents were unable to tell the difference between colors of things for many years after developing cataracts. Only the various shades of beige (Mother) or grey (Father) were apparent. Luckily this can now be cured by surgery. So the answer to this question must be :- Yes you can go color blind but there are possibilities for this to be reversed.
