Dogs DO see in colour, abeit to a lesser extent to a human's colour vision. 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 and cats 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.

You already can see he is merle. Unless you are color blind I dont understand the nature of the question since with all respect a good look at the dog and you will see the color. One good recomendation is to take a good look and search in pitbull sites to find one with the same color and read what color the breeder says the dog is.
