To explain this you need to first know how the eye works. 'Cones' are what we use to see color. Snakes have a very limited amount of cones in their retinas, much less than you or I. It is the same for them, but not as vivid nor wide a range. Think in terms of hues and shades.
Rods are what allow us to see in different levels of light. In general snakes can see better at night because their rods are more highly developed than the cones and that is opposite how we as humans see. The cones in our eyes are better developed and that allows us to see colors in much more more easily and in more vivid tones. (Not accounting for color blindness in humans)
In addition to what we as humans see, there are some snakes who see into the infrared spectrum. That allows them to see much better in extremely low light or darkness.
