Dogs do see in color. Checked on it and this is what I found:Dogs do in fact see in color, as shown by the fact that a dog’s eye contains both rods (which we associate with B/W vision) and cones (which differentiate between colors). While humans’ cones are attached to neurons that react to light at 435nm, 545nm and 570nm, a dog’s cones react at 429nm and 555nm.Note – NM stands for “nano meters.”
They do see in color. This is a fascinating read (even shows the colors they can see):https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/200810/can-dogs-see-colors“Neitz confirmed that dogs actually do see color, but many fewer colors than normal humans do. Instead of seeing the rainbow as violet, blue, blue-green, green, yellow, orange and red, dogs would see it as dark blue, light blue, gray, light yellow, darker yellow (sort of brown), and very dark gray.”

Now how do they actually know that dogs see colors? I never heard any of my dogs tell me what color shirt I had on while I was training them!!

My dog Ted can see colours but has horrible taste. Constantly wanting to wear a brown Tweed jacket with charcoal pants. He just doesn’t care.

I bet there’s a website where you can upload a photograph and it shows you the colours in which a dog would see it!
