BOTH answers are correct, depending on context.
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 see red and 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 tell red from green.
So, do they see color? YES
Are they color blind by human terms? YES
Do they only see black and white? NO

They see in color, just not as many shades as humans do. It is a common misconception that dogs only see in black and white. IN FACT there are very few humans that only see in black and white. When a human is referred to as color blind, it is a misnomer that it means they only see in black and white while in fact most color blind humans don't see a particular color or two.

Not exactly black and white, but they don't see the entire spectrum of colours that we can see. They see colours but not all of them, so they see a fader image than we do.

Dogs can see blues and yellows actually. Tho the way they see them is rather muted compared to how humans see. They don't really see red either.

That's what I've always been told. It's kind of sad that dogs can't see colors...think of how much they must be missing out on!
