It may be that cats are color blind in the *human* sense, but, from
observation, I've observed they *can* differentiate color.  At least
my cat, Feton, can.  When she joined our household last year, we gave
her a toy, which happened to be red.  For several months ANYTHING red
(including Christmas wrap) was fair game.  [A mixture of colored toys
seems to have "cured" that habit.]

This isn't scientific, I know, but it is an observation.
