Dogs are red-green color blind. They see a brighter and less detailed world when compared to humans. Peripheral vision is better than humans (dogs see more of the world), but distance is not judged quite as well. Dogs excel at night vision and the detection of moving objects. Figure 1 is a rough guesstimate of what a dog and human might see when viewing a color band (the electromagnetic spectrum).

That's why throwing red toys in grass is not as visible as we think for them

I guess I should buy purple toys based on that chart. At least for throwing stuff in the grass.

I'm sorry. I'm just thinking about you throwing a purple stick, and your dog coming back with the 6 foot purple dildo from Saints Row.

An unexpected result. But I'm sure I could find a use for a 6 foot dildo.

I think blue is your best bet
