HORSE Do Horses See in Color? If most humans (with the exception of those suffering for dichromacy) have three types of cones cells, the retina’s color receptors, and trichromatic vision, horses have only two types of cone cells and dichromatic vision. Therefore, horses do see in color, but if trichromats are able to see the world in millions of colors, dichromats see it in thousands of colors.

Therefore, horses do see in color, but if trichromats are able to see the world in millions of colors, dichromats see it in thousands of colors.
