Yes, both dogs and cats can indeed see colour, but have limited colour vision.
Research has found that dogs and cats have colour-sensitive cones in their eyes, but not as many as a human's. Studies have shown that dogs cannot differentiate between green, yellow, orange or red. However, dogs are able to differentiate between various shades of blue and violet. This means that they see in shades of yellow and blue primarily.
It is thought that purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. It is a possibility that they are also able to see yellow also. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside a cat's color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple.

∙ 12y agoCats can indeed see some colors, but not all colors. Research has found that cats 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.
Cats seem to be able to distinguish between higher frequency colors, meaning cats respond to the colors purple, blue, green and possibly yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of grey or purple.
Purple, blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans.
