Does anyone k now if rats see in color at all? I know that they're eye sight isn't the best but I don't know they're limitations. I was just curious.

excerpt: What Do Rats See?

By studying rats' eyes and behavior, scientists have a pretty good idea of how a rat sees the world. In a nutshell, rats are dichromats: they perceive colors rather like a human with red-green colorblindness, but their color saturation may be quite faint, and color appears to be far less important to them than brightness. Rat vision is quite blurry, around 20/600 for normally pigmented rats. Albino rats, however, are probably blind or severely visually impaired, with about 20/1200 vision.
