No they can see colors. They only have 2 out of the 3 cones in their eyes which allow them to see only two primary colors( yellow and blue).

Science fair projects what color do dogs see the best?

Dogs see in black and white, or gray scale, which is varying shades of black and white. Their eyes are very sensitive in low light levels and they can see in the dark very well. As far as seeing a particular color the best, it wouldn't matter as much as the brightness of the color, or in how reflective the particular color is.Answer:Dogs do see colors but they dont see all the colors we can humans see in "VIBGYOR": Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red (plus hundreds of variations on these shades). Instead, dogs see "VIBYYYR" (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, and Red). The colors Green, Yellow, and Orange all look alike to dogs; but look different from Red and different from the various Blues and Purples. Dogs are very good at telling different shades of VIB apart. Finally, Blue-Green looks White to dogs.

What is a pet dogs favorite color?

i thought they were colorblind -------------------------------------------------------- No they are not colorblind. In our eyes, we have cones that allow us to see color. Dogs only have 2 out of the 3 cones allowing them only to see 2 primary colors( blue and yellow) It depends on the environment but I believe( you will have to check on this) they are atracted to the colors that contrast to the environment around them. Hope this helps!


How do dog eyes work?

Contrary to what many people think, dogs can see some colors. In a dog's eye, 10 percent of the photoreceptors are cones, which allows him to see muted colors. He can't tell the difference between purple and grey or white and light blue, but certain colors are discernible. Dogs have more rods than humans, which allows them to detect movement much better than humans.
