Gee Dan, I'm a little confused by this, If a bull has something in its visual field that is giving off light in the frequency that we know as red, and a bull has no color receptors Then the bull would most certainly not percieve that frequency with the same mental imagery as a human with the appropriate color receptors would. In fact A human would percieve something they would Identify as red and the bull would percieve something as a shade of grey.
the old saying about bulls being enraged by the color red is
