Do bulls hate the colour red?

By MindStick

No, bulls do not dislike the colour red. They are, in fact, colorblind to red.

Bulls, like all other cattle, are dichromats, which means that their eyes have two types of cone cells rather than three, as humans do.

As a result, they cannot see red as well as humans can. A red cape seems yellowish-gray to a bull.

Now the question arise: Why do bulls charge at the matador's red cape during a bullfight?

It is not due to the colour, but to the movement of the cape. Hence, bulls are prey animals, anything that moves erratically makes them nervous.
