do newborns see colors
The color red. As an infant, Samantha loved looking at the Coke cans I'd set out when guests were coming. It's no wonder: red is among the colors babies see best once their color vision first kicks in, at about 3 months. A newborn doesn't see in color at all, thus her early fascination with black-and-white patterns and playthings. Her color vision is fully in place by 4 months. Young children only really detect bold, primary colors; they probably discern reds and greens best, followed by blues and yellows, says Eliot.
