If you wear a pure red shirt, the dog perceives you to be wearing a drab, gray shirt. But they would perceive our human skin ALSO as roughly drab and gray. So, YES, they might just perceive you as naked when you wear a pure red shirt! (Well, probably not, because they can probably tell the texture difference between skin and cloth, even if they look the same color to them.)

Answer in more detail:

Dogs--and all mammals besides a few of us primates--are color-blind in the sense that they are missing the red-green dimension of color. They have only two dimensions. They can see brighter versus darker (i.e., gray-scale, or white-to-black), and they can also see yellow-to-blue. Yellow and blue are the only two hues they can see. So, if you show your dog a perfectly red apple and a perfectly green apple (i.e., each having no shades of yellow or blue), then both apples will look identically gray.

But it also turns out that human skin color tends to have very little yellow or blue in it, so along the yellow-blue axis it is kind of in between, at gray. Now, it has more red in it than green, but dogs don't see this red-green axis, so don't notice this. From their point of view, skin will be kind of grayish.

...just like your perfectly red shirt! And that is why he could, in principle, think you are naked when wearing the red shirt (or, for that matter, wearing a perfectly pure green shirt).

Contrary to popular belief, dogs CAN see color. It is not the same as we see it, due to the mechanics of their eyes, but they do see color.
It is silly to believe that dogs and wolves, such advanced hunters, would only see in black and white.
Hunters need advanced senses, and color is one of them.
Dogs see red, and blue and green, etc. There have been studies done to show that. A dog was trained and tested to choose different colored balls on different colored rugs, and the dogs have chosen correctly.

No, it would not make them see you naked they would see the red as a different colour, but still be able to distinguish the difference between red and other colours because it isnt that they dont see red they just dont see it as we do but more like a colourblind human. For example if you were born red-green colour blind you would see red and green as a different shade of colour but to you it would still be red/green as you percieve it and you would be able to tell the difference between the two with some difficulty.

If you look at a black and white photo of yourself with a red shirt on, are you naked?

Think before you type. The rep you save may be your own.

Dogs are not impressed with your capitalistic attempt to make yourself appear superior to them by wearing colored clothing. Dogs may not see red, but they are red. Comrade.

some human beings declare they could't. i don't have self assurance it. My canine have shown selection and popularity for diverse colored products in the previous. the most brilliant grow to be my older Papillon, who 2 years in a row had chosen a croquet ball for the time of an annual cookout and obsessed about that one colored ball for the entire day. We tried rolling the different balls, washing off the ball he'd had so he couldn't scent it, rubbing each and each of the balls at the same time to make all of them scent the same, giving him in addition colored balls, you call it. He continually and unfailing back to his unique selection, which grow to be pink the first 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, and eco-friendly right here 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. Over a dozen human beings witnessed this, and it grow to be agreed by technique of even the most scientifically minded of them that there grow to be no way except colour he might want to have repeated spoke of the ball after each thing we did to it and the others. i'm one hundred% constructive he grow to be figuring out it by technique of colour on my own.

Nope. Dogs do not see us naked. What they see is how we see things on black and white tv. They'll see us in clothes but just in different hues between white to black. :)

The dog can see black and white and all the clothes which are not white will be seen as black.
