I saw this study that showed they can sense variations in shades of gray, but not most colors. For example, a cuttlefish goes over a certain color and assumes it. It's then moved to the opposite color and sticks out like a sore thumb. the colors look the same in black and white, but are clearly different as colors.

I could be wrong, though. It may be that certain species do see color.

After reading that article, I'm giving serious thought to getting some. Pretty darn cool.
