darkvision

The description for darkvision states that the creature sees in black and white even in any light.
So does this mean that the creature is colour blind?

I think that you may have misread this somewhere, it specifically repeats that seeing in black and white relates to Darkness :

Darkvision

A creature with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level darkness spell, block darkvision. However, a creature with greater darkvision can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Basically they see in black and white in Darkness, yet in colour for Bright Light (as it is never mentioned for Darkvision). The inconsistency is actually in Dim Light, where Ancestries place it in colour vision, whilst the Senses entry for Darkvision places it is black and white.

You can see in darkness and dim light just as well as you can see in bright light, though your vision in darkness is in black and white.

ORC SIGHT FEAT 5

Your orc blood is strong enough to grant you the keen vision of your orc forebears. You gain low-light vision, allowing you to see in dim light just as well as you can in bright light. If you have low-light vision (from the Half-Orc feat), you instead gain darkvision, allowing you to see in darkness and dim light just as well as you can in bright light. Your vision in darkness is in black and white.
