No, they are not color blind. They see some colors, but not all colors.

Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple.

Purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans.

Color is of little importance to cats. Their prey is any color of bird, fish, etc. So they hunt by the motion of their prey, not by its color.
