    I disagree with the yellow. I had a Dalmatian foster that would go bonkers whenever a yellow car or bright blue cop car would go by.

    Dogs are able to distinquish

    the different colors, but they are pastel like or faded. I've never heard that they can not see particular colors. They do not see the brillant colors that we do. Dogs have better night vision than humans, so it follows they would see more shades of grey that we can.
