My question is, can one be emotionally color blind/tone deaf?

Yes or no, and how/why?

The question is posed a bit vague, but sure. Autism is an example. Being a sociopath is an example. Some personality disorders do have an effect similar to being emotionally deaf. 

There is of course a range to all these conditions and the degreement of impairment or "emotional deficit". According to everyone, I myself do have those deficits, but not so much regarding empathy.
