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)
