Do Cats See in Color?
According to vest cats do see in color, although not exact-
ly the way we do. In our tests, cats appeared to distinguish
between the low to mid light wave spectrum (higher frequency), meaning cats responded to the colors purple, blue, green and yellow range. Red, orange and brown colors appear to fall outside cats color range and are most likely seen as shades of gray or purple. Cats appear to see less saturation in colors than do humans, meaning cats do not see colors as intensely or vibrantly. Blue and green appear to be the strongest colors perceived by cats. Our tests suggest cats
can distinguish between more shades or levels of gray than
can humans. The images below show how we believe cats
perceive color.
