So, what is this preference shaped compared to? Does it differ in every dog? What do you think is this color?

Let’s solve a mystery about dogs.

Dogs see colors in a different form than people.

That is, in their eyes, as in ours, there are cones. However, the number of cells sensitive to colors known as this cone is much less than ours. So dogs don’t see colors as varied as ours.

People have three types of cones that allow us to perceive many colors, green, blue and red, but dogs have two types. This makes their opinion similar to the opinion of a person who is a red-green blind.

In other words, dogs can first distinguish the shades of yellow and blue. Red, green, orange and gray tones are seen as pale. Although their color perceptions cannot grasp the colors for red and green, it contributes to the highlights of the yellow.

However, all this is actually what we have prevailed. Compared to the latest research, we have different studies that prove this.

For example, researchers conduct an experiment with 134 different dogs and give blue, yellow and gray containers for each dog to choose. In a surprising form, 72 of 134 dogs are directly turning directly to yellow container without doubt.

So the yellow color is the favorite of dogs. The group then repeats this test without food in containers and ultimately there is no random change. In fact, this work shows us more than an ordinary choice.

Because all of these 134 dogs live on the street, unanswered and not trained. So this is a natural attraction against yellow color.

But the researchers are not finite.

This time, they offer dogs a more challenging option to test how strong the yellow color preference is. This time, gray -colored containers and empty yellow containers with food are selected.
A stray dog, whose belly is mostly hungry, is expected to choose a gray container full of food, isn’t it? However, the situation is not so much. 41 out of 52 dogs prefer the hollow -colored bowl, while only 11 of them prefer gray -colored container full of biscuits.

When chicken is placed in the gray container, 47 out of 52 dogs prefer to turn again yellow container. In other words, all this shows us that the interest and curiosity in yellow is much stronger than eating impulses.

The conclusion we have from here is that: dogs have favorite colors just as we are. However, this favorite is not compared to their pleasure preference, but the color of their eyes is the most clear and bright color.
