No, color blindness is not infectious. Many times it is a genetic disability, and while it is possible to receive a color vision deficiency, it is impossible to 'catch' it; in order for color blindness to be infectious, it would have to be caused by an infection of some sort, and that is not the case. However, if it runs in your family, there is the possibility for you to obtain it.

What are some important things that John Dalton did?
John Dalton was a British scientist who is known for his work in early atomic theory and research in colour blindness which he had.John Dalton's work in atomic theory was actually little of his own, rather it is more of an intellectual deduction of what other chemists reported in his time. Nevertheless, Dalton is much credited with developing the first universal atomic theory, which stated:Elements are made of atomsAtoms cannot be created, destroyed or divided in chemical processesAtoms of the same element are the sameAtoms of differing elements cannot be identicalAtoms combine together in set ratios to form compoundsAlthough some points are known to be false today, Dalton's pioneer work in this field set straight many chemists later.Dalton was also the first person to scientifically note colour blindness as a disease. Dalton had total red-green colour blindness, and wrote about it extensively in one of his papers. Furthermore, Dalton in his will wanted to have his eyes preserved in attempt to determine what caused this disorder, which was deemed to be a gene defect in 1995.
