Demystified: Are Dogs Color-Blind?

The video explores the common misconception that dogs are completely colorblind. It explains that while dogs have a limited color vision compared to humans, they can still perceive some colors. The video compares human trichromacy, which involves three types of cones for color perception, to dogs' dichromacy, which involves only two types of cones. This results in dogs seeing a more limited color spectrum, similar to human color vision deficiency. The video also discusses the potential for enhancing dog vision with additional cones.
