Does red really make bulls angry? | Science Questions Bulls eyes are dichromatic - they have two colour-detecting pigments in their retinae That means they can see red, but they can also see many other colours too But, because they are dichromats they would see colours in a similar way to a colour blind person In other words, there's nothing special about red; it's more likely to be that the bull is excited by someone wearing
