that's because we humans come from them and developed it from them
Both apes and monkeys are primates and, by default, mammals, have color vision, live primarily in wooded or forested areas, have a structured hierarchy, and have offspring that take a while to mature.
I'd say BOTH. Monkeys are almost identical to humans. So what I would suggest is to take the info from that.
They have color vision because their eyes are comprised of the same components as humans. Human and Chimp eyes have a system of rod and cone cells that detect light and color, which are then sent to the visual centers in the back of the brain.
chimpanzees are monkeys no, chimpanzees are apes and not monkeys
Yes, monkeys are smallers then apes.

There are no monkeys in the ape family. Apes are apes and monkeys are monkeys.
Monkeys are primates, but not all primates are monkeys. Primates also include lemurs, tarsiers, and apes.
No, apes and monkeys are not even the same genus. There are many differennt species of apes and there are many different species of monkeys.
apes are bigger than monkeys
From what I've read, two of the main differances are that monkeys are generally considered intelligent, and unlike apes, they usually have tails. (according to wikipedia)- Monkeys have tails and apes do not.- Monkeys have slanted nasal openings.- Apes have rounded nasal openings.- Apes generally have bigger brains and larger bodies than monkeys.- Monkeys have web foot and apes do not have.- Monkeys are smaller in terms of size and apes are biggerThe distinction has more to do with taxonomy than macroscopic differences, which applies as general guides more than rules (they have been separated on these standards though, at the very beginning):- Apes are : Chimps, Gorillas, Orangutans and Gibbons.- Monkeys are all primates non-apes and non-prosimians (lemurs)Apes don't have tails and monkeys do. Also apes are much bigger and stronger
