Dogs are red-green color blind. They see a brighter and less detailed world when compared to humans. Peripheral vision is better than humans (dogs see more of the world), but distance is not judged quite as well. Dogs excel at night vision and the detection of moving objects. Figure 1 is a rough guesstimate of what a dog and human might see when viewing a color band (the electromagnetic spectrum).
Dogs cant differentiate red and green because they only have two types of color receptors (cones). Theyd percieve it similar to someone who is red-green colorblind.

I don’t get it. Is the dog colourblind?
That’s why throwing red toys in grass is not as visible as we think for them
I guess I should buy purple toys based on that chart. At least for throwing stuff in the grass.
I’m sorry. I’m just thinking about you throwing a purple stick, and your dog coming back with the 6 foot purple dildo from Saints Row.
An unexpected result. But I’m sure I could find a use for a 6 foot dildo.
I think blue is your best bet
Dogs have dichromatic vision, meaning they can distinguish colors like blue and yellow, but they have trouble seeing colors like red and green.
Well no wonder I never see any dogs getting their drivers liscense!
But the comic is monochrome, not dichrome.
Because that’s what we were told in my time, when I was young, long time ago, in ancient time, that dogs are seeing in black & white
