It is believed they see no colors(black and white). And so they would not see either of these colors.

Do beagles see in color?

Actually, yes. Dogs do see color (meaning more than just black and white), just a lot fewer than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the colors of the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow, and very dark gray.Essentially then, this means dogs see the colors of the world as basically yellow, blue and gray. The colors green, yellow and orange look yellowish to a dog, and violet and blue appear as blue to a dog. Something we see as blue-green will appear gray to a dog.What I learned in science class: Dogs can see the main colors that we can, red, blue, and green. Often, dogs are missing one of these colors in the cones in their eyes, leading to either red, blue, or green colorblindness. Although dogs may see shades of color a bit differently they still see the same colors in the cones of their eyes. The point is that dogs can see the same colors we can, but more often than not, are colorblind in one color in their cones. (This depends on the breed of dog as well)

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.

Why are some dogs green and some yellow?

Dogs are occasionally born green or yellow due to pigment from the placenta during birth rubbing off onto the puppy's fur. That usually happens to lighter colored puppies. They do grow out of that, and it is nothing to be alarmed by if you see this. It does not mean they are sick.
