It is a common misconception that dogs see ONLY in black and white, but yes, dogs can see blacks, whites and shades of grey along with some colour. Research has found that dogs have colour-sensitive cones in their eyes, but not as many as a human's. Humans with normal vision have 3 types of cones, while dogs and cats have only 2 types of cones so they do not experience the same spectrum of colour vision that we do.

It is thought that dogs can see blues and yellows the best and that they are able to differentiate between various shades of blue and violet, but that they have difficulty distinguishing reds from green. They are considered similar to red-green colour-blind humans.

Dogs don't see all colors. Like some people, they have red/green color blindness; they do not see shades of those two hues. Their world is a mixture of blues, yellows, tans, browns, grays, black and white.

What color do puppies see in?

Black and white are what most people think that dogs see, but in fact they see more of a blue-green color. This is because wolves see in this color and because dogs are a descendent of wolves . The reason wolves and dogs see in this color is because when wolves hunt is in the morning and that makes it easier to see in the low light.
