A team of animal behaviorists at the Indian Institute of Science Education & Research in India has found that street dogs living in that country prefer eating from yellow bowls to those of other colors.

Dogs see the difference between blue and yellow, for example, but other colors such as green, orange and red appear to them as muted shades of gray or yellow.
