Dogs do in fact see "in color", as shown by the fact that a dog's eye contains both rods (which we associate with B/W vision) and cones (which differentiate between colors).


While humans' cones are attached to neurons that react to light at 435nm, 545nm and 570nm, a dog's cones react at 429nm and 555nm.


This means that a dog sees somewhat as does a human with red-green color blindness.


This means, for instance, that what a human perceives as red, a dog probably perceives as green, and what a human perceives as yellow, a dog sees as a neutral color -- gray.

    • I once had some very grumpy buyers, I'd moved heaven and earth and compromised a little on price, was tempted just to tell them where to go and put it back on the market - I wanted to get rid but could hang on longer.  I bit my lip, and they sent me a very stroppy email which I deleted without reading. Ideally we'd get on with our buyers and sellers, always try to meet them, and you can often sort out issues directly.  Estate agents tend to not like you have the other parties details. I've generally had more problems with the ones I've not met. It can be stressful for both sides.  You often get an inkling whey you know that they may be awkward, and that includes going the other way with a last second increase in price when markets are moving upwards.  Again, bad karma!
