[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5459897, member: 17"] Deer vision is dichromatic, unlike our eyesight which is trichromatic. We have three types of cones in our eyes, each sensitive to a different wavelength of light (blue, yellow and red). This is what gives us our wide-ranging color vision. Deer only have two types of cones in their eyes, one most sensitive to blue light and the other to yellow light. They are missing the cone sensitive to red light. Hence they see blues, greens and yellows very well. What they don't see well is orange or red. Both of these will be shades of increasingly dull yellow. [/QUOTE]
