It is thought that all dogs can see in limited colour. It is a common misconception that dogs see only in black and white. Research has found that dogs 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 have only 2 types of cones so they do not experience the same spectrum of colour vision that we do. It is thought that dogs can see blues and yellows the best and that they are able to differentiate between various shades of blue and violet, but that they have difficulty distinguishing reds from green. They are considered similar to red-green colour-blind humans.
