Some animals can see in full color like humans. Though some animals have cones in their retina (which are used to see color) that cant distinguish the colors other than the color black (when no light is reflected off the surface) and the color white (all light is reflected). All the other colors are just the amount of light that's absorbed and reflected, the darker colors would show up close to the color black.

What black and white things would you see in the Arctic or Antarctic?

Most polar animals are coloured in some form of black and/or white. The black sides of animals make them hard to see from above -- in water, and the white sides of animals make them hard to see from below -- in water. Most animals that exist in polar environments find their food chains in water, so their camouflage colouring helps them survive. Examples are puffins, penguins and polar bears.
