Snake Sight:
Snakes do not see colors, but their eyes are equipped with a combination of light receptors: rods that provide low-light but fuzzy vision, and cones that produce clear images.
The complexity of the eyes varies among species because of their different lifestyles.
For instance, snakes that live primarily underground have smaller eyes that only process light and dark, but snakes that live above ground and hunt by sight have crystal-clear vision and good depth perception.
Some species, specifically boas and pythons, have a second visual tool: Pit organs on their heads see heat sources in their surroundings like infrared goggles --an effective ability for nocturnal hunters of warm-blooded animals.
While snake vision is unremarkable (generally being best in arboreal species and worst in burrowing species), it is able to detect movement.
Some snakes, like the Asian vine snake, have binocular vision (both eyes are used together).

I posted the cited source, and links to more information about snakes and their senses.

Most snakes, like dogs, see in black and white. Some snakes see in thermal heat shich have different colors depending on how hot or cold the thing is that they are looking at. They also sense movement with their tongue.

Green garter snakes. They are a pretty color. Green is my favorite color.

You have me on that one... I am not sure a study has been done.. Iguanas can see red, green and yellow ( this is from observations I have made) when associated with food and Box Turtles tend to go for the brown and purple colors.
If you find a study on this from your question from other contributors... PLEASE, send me an e-mail with a link..
Thanx.
