Can dogs see color?

Answer:
Actually, yes. Dogs do see color (meaning more than just black and white), just a lot fewer than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the colors of the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow, and very dark gray.

Essentially then, this means dogs see the colors of the world as basically yellow, blue and gray. The colors green, yellow and orange look yellowish to a dog, and violet and blue appear as blue to a dog. Something we see as blue-green will appear gray to a dog.
