Dogs can see color. They are just red-green color blind. They see blue as blue, not gray. http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/canine-corner/200810/can-dogs-see-colors

I came here to say:

Roses are grey

Violettes are blue

I can see yellow

FTFY

Actually

Roses are yellow

Violettes are blue

As you will see here.

Actually the roses would be pale yellow, and the violets would be a more pale blue. Assuming violets are blue as the saying goes (not purple?), and that the color spectrums in his link are accurate and relative. Edit: My post now lacks context. :(

[–]pokins 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Purple is still a mix of blue and red so either way it will be blue

Actually anything that isn't blue appears with a yellowish hue to them, not grey.

[–]Elkkumania -5 points-4 points ago

Roses are red-green and violets are blue. Red-green colorblind means you can't tell a difference between the two.

Color blindness still does not work that way. Keep trying though.

Dogs are not color blind.

I read through the comments hoping to see somebody mention the WoW Undead joke of:
'Roses are grey,
Violets are grey,
I'm dead,
And colour blind...'
Instead, TIL, Dogs can't see red or green.

False. Dogs can see yellow and blue and mixes of those two. They just cannot see red as different from green or yellow.

I feel bad about dogs being color blind on Valentines day, so I make sure to give extra chocolate to every dog I see.

I thought it was gonna be, "Why is everyone giving each other heart shaped boxes of poison?"

[–]ChakraFreak 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

they actually can see all the colors, but they are all muted. So red isn't as red, blue isn't as blue. If you have a dog, put something crazy bright in front of them like a traffic barrel and they will be scared. so funny!

[–]Nerdtendo 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

From what I understand, they'd see yellow and blue.

You're right. I did an assignment on dogs a couple of years ago and found multiple sources suggesting otherwise. Bad sources I guess. Thanks for the info

False. Dogs do see color. just not red and green

[–]Cheddarwurst 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not exactly true, either. They just can't tell the difference between red and green. It makes Christmas a little confusing, I imagine.

Corgi's have fatter and shorter faces than a fox. Also, a Corgi is a dog and a fox is, well, foxy.
