The video debunks the myth that dogs can only see in black and white, explaining that while dogs are colorblind from a human perspective, they can still perceive colors. Humans have three types of cones in their eyes for detecting blue, green, and red light, whereas dogs have two types, allowing them to see blue and yellow.
