That depends on exactly how you define the term.

Humans are trichromats: our eyes contain color receptors that are sensitive to three different spectral bands.

In "color blind" people, there's something wrong with one or more of these types of color receptors.

Most mammals are thought to have only two types of color receptors. This doesn't make them completely insensitive to color, but it does give them a type of color blindness.

Sea mammals appear to only have one type of color receptor, meaning they can only distinguish between colors based on their brightness.
