No, color. However their vision is limited. When they're first born, they can see clearly only a few inches in front of their face, then it gets blurrier the further the distance. By 2 weeks, they can see clearly to about 2 feet, with vision clearing up enough over the first month to see across an average sized room.

Babies can see color from the moment they are born. However, they can't focus, they can't make out forms/borders and most of what they see is very blurry. They feel most comfortable with black and white until they reach about 4 months--black and white colors don't require as much effort to understand by newborns.

Technically they can see colors, but in reality their vision is bad when they are born, so they only distinguish simple linear patterns (not even circles until ~1 month) and contrasting colors (and what's more contrasting that black and white). It's interesting that mom's nipple gets darker right before birth - nature's way to assure the baby can see them when born.

at birth they don't see much of anything . The doctors put zinc oxide into their eyes to ward off infection . Later on they see light and shadows ,, they forms , then black and white , then colors ,, this takes about one year of progress for the little one .

I think they do for the first few months.
