Nature

Cats have a limited ability to see colors compared to humans. They can see some shades of red, but they do not perceive red as vividly as humans do. Instead, red may appear to cats as a muted color, such as gray or brownish. This is because cats have fewer cone cells sensitive to the long wavelengths that correspond to red. Their color vision is dichromatic, meaning they mainly see blues, greens, and yellows, while red, orange, and brown appear less distinct or as shades of gray to them.
