Answer 2

Most mammals, including mice, have limited colour vision. It is not totally greyscale, but they have only two types of colour receptors, not three as humans do. Probably because having dichromatic vision is better for seeing prey such as insects on leaves. Colourblind people are better at picking camouflaged gun installations, soldiers etc. during battle for the same reason.
