no - they see color, but their chromatic acuity is significantly less than humans'. This is for two reasons: (1) dogs have far fewer cone cells in their retina (cone cells are responsible for seeing color); and (2) dogs are dichromatic (the see only two primary colors - blue and yellow)

All dogs have only very limited colour vision.

Further information:

All dogs, including border collies, have limited colour vision. Many sources will say that they cannot see colour at all - just shades of grey - but this is not strictly true. What they see is very muted colours, tending towards grey, but colour nonetheless.

All dogs are color blind to an extent. They can see some colors, but not all, like humans.

Dogs are not colorblind in the sense that they see more than just black, white and gray. However, the color range they perceive is limited compared to the spectrum we see.
