Dogs can see colors, just not as many as humans. I also don't say "just not all of them", because humans can't see all of them either. Furthermore, magenta's not a color that actually occurs in the universe, but we see it because our brains create it. And there are other animals that see way more colors than us, and can also see beyond our "visible light" spectrum.

So you're saying that a mantis shrimp wouldn't have created this accident?

A study published in Science by Hanne H. Thoen and colleagues in January of 2014 showed that mantis shrimp are actually worse than we are when it comes to discriminating differences in color. In other words, the fact that the mantis shrimp has a greater variety of color photoreceptors does not endow the crustacean with better color vision.

That was a myth, they can’t tell colors apart very well at all. Also eww The Oatmeal, that shit should have died back in 2012 along with all the Mustache crap.
