It is believed that nocturnal animals have little or no colour vision, but that all other animals have some colour vision. Scientists have determined that most marsupials, for example, have good colour vision.
Because animals have different ratios of "rods" and "cones" in their eyes, they have different levels of being able to see colour. Rods assist in seeing in the dark; cones assist with colour vision. The ratio of rods to cones in their eyes, as well as the type of cones themselves determines how much colour vision animals have. There are three types of cones which are responsible for colour vision, and each one has a separate pigment which is sensitive to red, blue or green light. What we may see in colour may be very muted colours - almost shades of grey - to dogs. But it is still colour.

Why animals cannot see colours?
Bulls would be the most obvious answer. Quite a lot of animals can only see in black and white.
What are primary colors of light?
This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.

What happens when you make a rainbow with the help of a glass of water and sunlight?
The sunlight hits the glass of water and then the light disperses out as a spectrum of colour (rainbow). This is because sunlight is white light and white light contains the 7 colours of the rainbow. When it hits the glass the colours refract and disperse out as the spectrum of colours, which we see as a rainbow.
Is it fair to say that if an animal is colourful than it is likely to be able to see colours?
No, not really. For example, humans can see a wide range of colours but are a fairly boring pink. Spiders cannot see more than a few areas of the spectrum, yet are often very brightly coloured. Colours are more of a warning saying "don't eat me, I taste bad" or "leave me alone, I'll poison you".
Can other animals see colours?
probably
How do animals see?

Can animal see colors?
Animals can see in color not every color but most of them.Answer:Science indicates that many animals see colours although the palate they see is more limited than ours. Birds and some reptiles obviously devote a fair amount of energy into being coloured to attract mates, birds and other animals are attracted to coloured fruits and flowers, dog's can be trained to fetch balls of specific colours, insects use colours to warn predators away (hornets and Monarch butterflies) - all of these actions would be useless if animals could not see colours.
Why animals cannot see colours?
Bulls would be the most obvious answer. Quite a lot of animals can only see in black and white.
Are all animals colourblind?
No, not all animals are color blind. Some see less color pigmentation than others, which as a general rule would be those animals with good night vision. People, which by definition are animals, are for the most part, not color blind.
Why do certain animals change colours?
So they can be camouflaged, so their prey (or predators) won't see them.
What types of animals can see colours?
The number of animals able to see colour is actually a vast number. Therefore, it would be inappropriate to ask this question. However, the number of animals not able to see colour would be actually less. Dogs are colour blind as well as the animals that hardly see daylight.
How do you see different colours?
We see different colours because other colours are being absorbed.
