If you are also longing for the answer to this age-old question, you’ve come to the right place.
Do dogs see colour like human beings? The simple truth is no. Dogs can only perceive some colour compared with human beings. Scientists have found that we have about three photoreceptors in our eyes to perceive the colours of a rainbow, whereas dogs have only two ‘cones’. Human beings can distinguish between blue and red, green and yellow. On the other hand, dogs have no capacity to perceive green or red at all since everything is in a way tinted on a yellow-blue colour scale. Another fun fact about dogs is that they do not have an acute vision like humans, and may be up to 40% less sharp! What might appear absolutely clear to a human at a distance of 20 feet might be blurry to a dog. It is so since dogs are nearsighted. The test of their eyes would be like 20/75. A dog sees the world in a different sense: the smell.
