Is it true that dogs can see only the color yellow and cannot perceive any other colors?
No. Two sources directly address dog color vision: one reference explains dogs are dichromats whose cones distinguish blue and yellow wavelengths, and a 2025 study of Indian free-ranging dogs found they preferred yellow over blue or gray, indicating they perceive blue as well. Both contradict the claim that dogs see only yellow.
