I don't believe that people don't see color. I think what you're saying is that their color didn't make any difference to you. But saying you don't see their color is telling them that a major part of who they are is invisible to you.
I always see color when I see people, just as I see that they are female or male or tall or short or have dark hair or blue eyes. When I look at someone, I notice their whole physical being. But I try not to judge them based on any of those characteristics. That's the key.
But saying you "don't see color" is either just not true - since it's pretty impossible to look at someone and not see their most obviously visible physical characteristic - or you are completely dismissing who they are. It also suggests an "I don't have a racist bone in my body" blindspot that doesn't help deal with these issues.
I think you actually meant that their color matter not to you, which is a good thing. But you might want to rethink saying you don't see someone's color since that's not what I think you actually meant.
