I was under the impression that all animals saw in black and white and shades of but no colours.

If you are asking if other animals are concerned with how they look your answer is "of course". Think of any kind of male trying to attract a mate (peacock being an excellent example!). They try to have the biggest tails, brightest colors, or whatever will give them the best mate. if you are asking whether or not they can recognize themselves in the mirror, some apes can since they are so intelligent but so-called "lower mammals" cannot since they lack the brain capacity.

Humans have three types of color receptors (light-sensitive cells) in the retina.\n\nDogs have only two.  So dogs are not (as some people say) completely color blind.  They can distinguish between blues and yellows ... but not between reds and greens.\n\nThe technical terms are that humans are 'trichromatic', and dogs are 'dichromatic.'

Insects are attracted to the light reflected of the plants and they are most certainly NOT color-blind. Bees can see into the ultra-violet end of the spectrum farther than humans so they don't see the same colors we do.

Camouflaged Animals:\n\nCOLOR CHANGE\n>>Reptiles and Amphibians (like frogs, toads,chameleon) and some fish can change the colors of their skin or scales to match a surface that's near them. Their coloration is determined by biochromes in living cells. Biochromes may be in cells at the skin's surface or in cells at deeper levels. These deeper-level cells are called chromatophores. Cuttlefish species, can manipulate their chromatophores to change their overall skin color. Chameleons can produce a wide range of colors and patterns on their skin, but they do this primarily to express mood, not to blend in with different environments.\n \n>>Mammals (like deer, squirrels, or moles) have earth tones color to match trees or dirt.\n\n>> Far north  animals often have white fur or feathers in winter. When spring melts the snows, the white fur and feathers fall out. Pigments in the skin cells change. When new feathers and fur grow in, they match the new color or pattern of the landscape.\n\nCOUNTER SHADING\n>> Mice, white-tailed dear, Canada geese, otters and largemouth bass use a kind of camouflage called counter-shading. These animals have bodies that are dark on top and light on the bottom.When sunlight shines on an animal's darker colors, it makes them look lighter. When the animal's lighter-colored parts are in shadow, it makes them look darker. The two areas of color blend together when seen from a distance. The animal's outline is harder to pick out from surrounding patterns. \n\nELEMENT OF DISGUISE\n>>Insecta (like green katydid or grasshopper) - have a solid body color that matches the color of its environment. Many insects that feed on plants have solid green bodies during part or all of their lives\n\n>>Many animals have distinctive designs on their bodies that serve to conceal them . These designs, which might be spots, stripes or a group of patches, can help the animal in a couple of ways.This disruptive coloration is particularly effective when animals in a species are grouped together. To a lion, a herd of zebras doesn't look like a whole bunch of individual animals, but more like a big, striped mass. The vertical stripes all seem to run together, making it hard for a lion to stalk and attack one specific zebra. The stripes may also help a single zebra hide in areas of tall grass. Since lions are colorblind, it doesn't matter that the zebra and surrounding environment are completely different colors. \n\n>>Walking stick, an insect that looks like an ordinary twig. A predator can easily distinguish a walking stick from its surroundings, but the predator thinks its only a stick, and so ignores it. \n\nIMITATION\n>>Swallowtail butterflies and many insects often use a kind of camouflage called imitation. The shape of their bodies, along with their coloring, makes them look like other things.\n\nMIMICRY\n>>Viceroy butterfly and many harmless insects use mimicry.The monarch butterfly is a bad-tasting insect that most birds will not eat. The viceroy butterfly has a black-and-orange wing pattern that closely matches the monarch's. Birds who see a viceroy leave it alone, thinking it's a monarch. Many harmless insects look and fly like bees, insects which can really sting.♥\n\nFor more camouflaged animals visit this link:\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/coloring/camouflage.shtml

It all depends on what environment they live in. There are nocturnal (night) animals that see very well at nightime. Birds of prey (eagles, hawks, falcons) have great eyesight for when they are high in the sky. Octopi have great eyes for being underwater. SO, it all depends on where they are.

Deer are dichromatic.  They see the world with only two primary colors instead of the three that we see it with.

Birds and reptiles have better color vision than humans\nMost mammals have poor color vision by human standards.\nPrimates have vision like humans.\n\nColor vision arises from photoreceptor cells in the eye called cones. \n\nBirds and reptiles have four different kinds that are sensitive to four different wavelength ranges. Most mammals have only two types having lost half somewhere in the distant past due to mutations. Most of the mammals that lived in the shadow of the dinosaurs were nocturnal, so color vision wasn't very useful to them anyway.\n\nPrimates have the same two kinds of cones that mammals, birds and reptiles have in common, but unlike other mammals they have a third type which is unique to primates, it arose via a mutation and allows human style color vision. It's sort of an awkward compromise when compared with birds and reptiles though. They can see UV light, we cant'\n\nI'd add that any nocturnal animal regardless is less likely to have good color vision, because overall light intensity is sensed by a different kind of photoreceptor cell (rods) and good night vision requires more rods than cones. You can't have your cake and eat it too.\n\nI don't know much about fish and amphibians. \n\nSome insects have very good color vision in tems of color perception. Any of the ones that co-evolved with flowering plants would see color better than usb ecause of that extended spectrum thing. Although the specifics of their vision systems aren't familiar to me.\n\nI only know the stuff on bird, mammal and primate vision because of an article in a recent issue of Scientific American.

mostly black, i.e. over 67%. then the blue and green. am not considering the others as cat eye, etc.

In the eye there r rods N cones. rods allow us to see details while cones colours! cats n dogs have more rods than human beings.

Bald Eagles are thought to have the best eyesight of any animal, having up to eight times the resolving power of the human eye. The retina has two focusing foveae (human eyes have only one) which allows them to use both eyes together (binocular vision like humans) for telescopic viewing, or each eye independently (monocular vision) for up close viewing. They see in color.

Oh, yes.  Many insects can perceive ultraviolet light; and birds have 4 photoreceptor cells in their eyes (we only have 3) so they can also see some ultraviolet.\n\nThe rumors that animals can only see in black and white is wrong, by the way.  Most mammals have only 2 color receptors so they see things less colorfully than we do -- it seems evolution determined that early mammals, being nocturnal animals, did not need all 4 photoreceptors their ancestors did, and lot them.  Very recently -- in evolutionary terms, that means just a few tens of million of years -- the monkey/ape reacquired some of the color sensitivity by having one of the color cell type mutate and differentiate, so we now have 3; but in some cases, the DNA is not foolproof, hence we have color blindness.\n\nThere was an article about this topic in the July 2006 issue of Scientific American, a bit of this is available on the attached link.

There are other animals that have parietal  eyes.  These are fully functional eyes, and can account for 3 eys on lizards and other mamals; however the issue with these parietal eyes is that it is unknown how much one can see out of them because a scale/hair/skin grows over it.

A primary color or colour is a color that cannot be created by mixing other colors in the gamut of a given color space. Primary colors may themselves be mixed to produce most of the colors in a given color space: mixing two primary colors produces what is generally called a secondary color, mixing a secondary with a primary produces what is sometimes called a tertiary color. Traditionally, the colors red, yellow, and blue are considered to be primary pigments in the art world. However those colors are not the same hue as the "red", "yellow" and "blue" used in alternate color systems. Many modern applications use primary additive colors of red, green and blue; and the primary pigments (i.e. subtractive primaries) of magenta, yellow, and cyan. If the color space is considered as a vector space, the primary colors can be regarded as a set of basis vectors for that space.
