Instead of seeing the rainbow as violet blue blue-green green yellow orange and red dogs would see it as dark blue light blue gray light yellow darker yellow sort of brown and very dark gray. This means they possess two types of cones or color receptor cells in their retina. Blue-green blue and violet appear as saturations of blue.
However dogs have more rods in their eyes which gives them better night vision.
The colors your dog sees are blues yellows and shades of gray. As you can see a dogs color perception creates something of a parallel world compared to what the human eye sees. The cones the cells found in the retina that we mentioned before allow the dog to perceive different colors thanks to light. Dogs cannot see all the colours of the rainbow.
