Not really. Colour vision requires a large brain and a proportional amount of energy to run the system, so since many animals don't need to see in colour they don't waste the energy trying. Colour vision comparable to a human's is restricted to primates. Primates are a group of mammals who put alot more energy into seeing than other mammals (with a corresponding reduction in smelling and hearing abilities). This would have originally developed for judging distances between branches and for spotting fruit amongst leaves.
However many mammals and birds have some degree of colour vision. Some can tell the difference between green and red while others can only distinguish between blue and yellow.
Most insects can see in ultra-violet light, though whether that counts as 'proper' colour vision remains to be seen.
