When a man is tested in the military, or for a commercial driving license, the chart tests for color blindness. If he is deemed color blind, it means he can't tell red from green, but only sees them as shades of brown..that is the human condition known as color blind.
However, dogs do not differentiate between red and green, so by human standards, yes, they ARE color blind.
But, some people think that the term means that color blindness is seeing only in black and white...dogs DO see other than black and white and shades of gray..so, they do see color.
They see yellow, blue, and tans/browns very well, and some shades of purple..but they don't diferentiate between red and green.
So, do they see color? YES
Are they color blind by human terms? YES
Do they only see black and white? NO
Here is a great color illustration of how dogs percieve color, and how they know this> http://www.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/LA/DrP4.htm

According to research, dogs see colors differently.
We humans see the rainbow as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
Dogs see the same rainbow as very dark gray, dark yellow, light yellow, gray, light blue, and blue.
So dogs do have some perception of color predominantly in the blue and yellow range.

i read somewhere that they can see colors like we do except that the shades of colors may be darker to them. for ex. take light blue for instance. they may see dark blue instead. it isnt like this with all colors though.
