Can ants see color?

Yes, ants can see colors. But they certainly see the color of an object different to us humans. This is due to following reasons: 1.) Ants have 4 different light absorbing pigments (humans only 3). 2.) They probably see UV light as a color. 3.) They probably see different directions of polarisation of the light as different colors. While most insects (for example bees and wasps) can not see red light, ants can. So, yes, it is most likely that they can distinguish the colors you are specifically interested in, red, orange, and yellow. The brain computes out of all the information delivered from all sensory vision cells one image. Sadly we still lack any real idea how this is done in ants. Therefore it is impossible to tell how this image looks like for a ant. One more warning: there are thousands of ant species. Most of what we know about ants comes from a very few species investigated. It is near sure, if scientists investigate further they will find surprises and exemptions to what I said.
