It was once believed that cats were colorblind, but now we know they actually can tell the difference between certain colors. Basically, they see the world around them as shades of blue and green. But though they see color, cats don't pay much attention to it. In nature, color isn't particularly necessary to a cat's survival succeess.

We believe cats do see in color, although not exactly the way we do. In our tests, cats appeared to distinguish between the low to mid light wave spectrum (higher frequency), meaning cats
responded to the colors purple, blue, green and yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors
appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of gray or purple.
Cats appear to see less saturation in colors than do humans,
meaning cats do not see colors as intensely or vibrantly.
Blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats.
Our tests suggest cats can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than can humans.
The images below show how we believe cats perceive color.*
so heres your answer cats see only black and white

Yes cats see in color but they are all very near-sighted. they can't see things far away. Dogs on the other hand only see in black and white.

Yes. Recent tests establish a recognition of blues and yellows. This is confirmed by a number of research web sites.
