As far as is known Dogs and also Equines ( Horses, Mules, Donkeys, Zebras) can visualize only in Greys or as we say with Photography, Black and white. Seeing-Eye dogs can judge traffic flow, essentially, but cannot distinguish colors. they can note the traffic signal is on the Bottom ( Green) but cannot read colors. I can imagine the government has thoroughly studied this problem as they employ thousands of Dogs in security applcations in the Armed Forces, police agencies and so on. Bomb sniffing, detection of human bodies, yes, but they can"t read colors. so it goes all Dogs essentially see in Black and White. Color coded manuals won"t work with pooches.

What is a pet dogs favorite color?
i thought they were colorblind -------------------------------------------------------- No they are not colorblind. In our eyes, we have cones that allow us to see color. Dogs only have 2 out of the 3 cones allowing them only to see 2 primary colors( blue and yellow) It depends on the environment but I believe( you will have to check on this) they are atracted to the colors that contrast to the environment around them.
