Yes dogs ARE color blind, they see in two colors instead of three exactly the same as some color blind people. The difference between a dogs eyes and ours is that a dog has fewer cones (collect color) and more rods (collect light) so a dog sees colors about like a color blind person, and sees at night about like a person using night vision goggles.
We see "VIBGYOR" (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red)
dogs see "VIBYYYR" (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, and Red). The colors Green, Yellow, and Orange all look alike to dogs

Not the way that we do. But, they can see differences in colors, which is why the contact obstacles in Agility courses are painted purple or blue with contrasting yellow contact zones.

Dogs are often thought to be colorblind, yet now it is thought that dogs see some colors, but their spectrum is limited.

Dogs are colorblind, and only see light and dark. I think that's why my dog barks more at dark people then light ones.

Apparently dogs do not see in colour but then again they will not miss something that they have never had.

sadly no
dogs cannot see color because they have two many rods which allow them to instead see better in the dark
