What color can a dog see best?

Can anyone give me some websites to go to or maybe some info.
Answers:
Our trainer gave us a color target to work with for obedience training and the colors used are blue and yellow. She says they can see these colors.

Here's a link that supports my trainer :)

my dogs see the color of biscuits best!!
black and white.

They are color-blind.
yellow
Only black and white.didn't your mother teach you anything?
white
some say that they can see green the best but most sources say that dogs are color blind.
Well catsgrump is dumb. Doesn't her momma teach her dogs can see red to but mostly black and white
Dogs can see all colors and there in no such thing as (dogs are color blind) they can see colors
Melon is correct :-) The fact that dogs can only see black and white is an old wives tale.
blues and violets (they cant see red oranges or yellows very well)
Hahaha -- yes mine see biscuits best too! Canines eyes can best discriminate blue/yellow. That's why agility obstacles are usually painted blue and yellow! They are terrible at discriminanting red/green. Do a search on canine color vision. There are lots of resources out there.
It is not true that dogs are completely colourblind. While dogs do not have the same color vision as humans, they are able to tell yellow from blue. Like a human with red-green colourblindness, they are unable to tell the difference between red and green.

The reason for this limited range, in both the colourblind human and the dog, is that there are only two kinds of colour receptors in the retinas of their eyes. While most humans have three kinds of colour cells, with three different receptor molecules sensitive to blue, greenish-yellow, and red, dogs only have receptors for yellow and greenish-blue.
white, baby.
According to my knowledge dogs and bulls doesn't have colour pigments in their eye so they are unable to trace colours. They can see only in black and white.
basically they see all the things in Black n White. So the light n Bright colors, like yellow, green attracts them most
