Many animals can see colors like humans, but some are color-blind. In animals, the ability to see colors depends on the presence of color receptors in the eye’s retina.

Many animals are considered to be color blind. Animals and humans have rods and cones in their eyes that enable them to see color. The ability of an animal to see color depends on the color receptors in the retina of the eye. Some animals have less cones or more rods. This leads certain animals to see better at night, and see color differently.

However, some animals see colors we cannot. Spiders and many insects can see a type of light called ultraviolet that most humans cannot see. Other animals, like snakes, are able to see infrared light.
