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.
