Best Answer

Scientists have performed colour vision tests on dogs. Jay Neitz, for example, tested the color vision of dogs. Dogs were shown three light panels in a row: Two of the panels were the same color, while the third was different. The dogs' task was to find the one that was different and to press that panel.

Other research has found that dogs colour-sensitive cones in their eyes, but not as many as a human's. Studies have shown that dogs could not differentiate between green, yellow, orange or red. However, dogs are able to differentiate between various shades of blue and violet.

Well, you really can't know for sure. I mean, maybe someday somebody will find a way to figure out what color dogs can see in, but for now, we just don't know for sure. :) Hope this helped!!

Actually, dogs see in color. They see as a human who has red-green color blindness, so they see red as green and green as red and yellow as grey. other than that, due to a study done recently, they have both rods (associated with how you see at night) and cones (associated with what you see in the day)dogs and cats both see black and white but dogs see green, red, blue, and yellow sometimes and cats see green, blue, and yellow
