Fact of the Day: Dog Vision
While it's true dogs are "color-blind", the term isn't as literally true as it sounds. Studies have found that dog typically see blues,yellows and grays. They suffer from red-green color blindness, similar to that of deuteranopia in humans.
In all my loooong years, I've never know one single person that was color blind...amazing, isn't it. I didn't realize dogs didn't see all colors. Makes me wonder if bulls really see RED...:) (oh, I've never tried the mini frozen Eggos but I sure like the regular size ones..I like mine a little crisp so when they pop up out of the toaster, I put them back in for another round. yum)
Fighting bulls see a waving cap. Go to Spain and see a bloody bull fight. Or read a Hemmingway account. You might JUST learn something??????????????????????? Colin
They don't need to see these colors because their smell compensates. I think they "see" with their nose..... see, hear, and feel through their nose. Or at least that's how my beagles are.

That is very interesting.
They sure don't let it bother them
I always wondered if this was true....Glad to know they can see a few colors!
don't know how they know these things, interesting.
No wonder they always run red lights when they're driving.
Yay for me! I actually knew this one!
That's interesting info.

Interesting, but I think their peripheral vision is much better than ours.
Colour confused is more like it. A good friend of mine has that, sees different colours than I do.
I always thought they could only see gray too. Nice to know they can at lease see some color!
