Neither. They can see in colour, but only in blues, greens and yellows. They cannot see pink, red, purple or brown hues because they do not have the red receptor in their eyes, only blue and yellow. Cattle are most attuned to yellowish green and bluish-purple hues, as well as sharp contrasts that go from light to dark, like intense shadows.

No, cattle are dichromatic, meaning that they can only differentiate or see specific colours. The two of colour receptors available in the cone cells of the retina is only blue and yellow. Cattle are unable to differentiate red from green.

Bulls are dichromates, which means they see two colors: red and blue. However, it is not the color that they go after, it is the movement.

Not exactly. They still can see colour, but not the reddish hues.

Cows can only see the shades of the colors red and green, however, these colors will show as grey or black. They may also see the muted colors of yellow and blue.

Yes, but not the full spectrum. They can only see colours that fall in the blue and yellow hue receptors, not red.

There are different breeds of cows. Some are brown, some are black, some are white, and some are a mixture of black and white.
