Although it is commonly believed that dogs and cats see only in black and white, recent evidence suggests that animals may have some degree of useful color vision. The perception of color is determined by the presence of cone photoreceptors within the retina. These cone cells function in bright light conditions and comprise approximately 20% of the photoreceptors in the central retina of the dog. In humans, the central retina (macula) is 100% cones. Behavioral tests in dogs suggest that they can distinguish red and blue colors but often confuse green and red.

The experts say they do not see any colors but especially not red. I think they are wrong. My dog loves to watch the weather channel in color (not black and white) and she hates if you interrupt her. We leave it on when we leave. It actually calms her down.

Contrary to rumor, dogs see color. Only nocturnal animals sacrifice color perception, in order to see in the dark.
