When feeding Charley and Victor this morning, I noticed the various colors of dog food pieces – brown, dark brown, tan and different shades of orange. Quite nice, calm colors, actually.
I thought, “That’s all nice and good and unnecessary, since dogs see only blue.”
The colors are for human-types to appreciate and be attracted by, rather than for canine-types to appreciate.
Sort of. Turns out dogs can see some colors, or so a couple of laboratory studies say.

As with dog food, then, most dog toys are colored for humans to keep track of.
