Dogs are animals that possess a very good vision. Although dogs are not color blind as many people perceive, they still have slightly different eyesight compared to humans. Dog color blindness is said to be a mistaken perception in people since one can learn this when you’re training your dog. When training dogs using different colors, the dogs are able to differentiate the different colors. Check this article to be aware of the common misconceptions regarding dog color blindness.
Dogs don’t suffer from color blindness but they lack the chromatic acuity that humans have. This chromatic acuity helps human in seeing many and different types of colors compared to the dogs. The dog’s eye is said to have fewer cone cells at the retina than the human eye. This reduced number of cone cells makes the dogs be able to see a few colors compared to humans who have more cells and can be able to see more colors. The number of cone cells in the retina of the human eye is seven times that of a dog. The cells are responsible for regulating how the eye can detect colors in human and dog eye.
The canine family which the dog belongs to have a dichromatic 
vision. By this, it means that the canine family has the ability to only see two types of primary colors which are yellow and blue. when looking at a red color the dog’s eye see a color that is close to brown which means that dogs are not color blind as many deem them to be. The dog’s eye has the ability to also see the purple, blue, white colors and lots of grey shade.
Dogs on the other side have an added advantage compared to the human eye. Dogs have the ability to see under low light conditions. The dog’s eye bears a high number of rod cells which act as photoreceptors. The rod cells help in the regulation of black and white perception. By this, it means that dogs have a better night vision compared to humans.
