People often think dogs are color blind because they see the world differently than humans do. While humans have three types of color receptors (cones) that allow us to perceive a wide range of colors, dogs have only two types, which makes their color vision similar to that of a human with red-green color blindness. This means they primarily see shades of blue and yellow but have difficulty distinguishing between reds and greens. However, dogs are not completely color blind; they simply experience a more limited color palette.
