In my opinion there is no way that turkeys are colorblind. They have way better vision than us. There have been times when I have been spotted by turkeys when I don't think I could have spotted myself I was camoed so good.

turkeys are NOT color blind they see color very well and variations in a color. Thats why full body camo is usually required.

Yep,Turkey can see color.That's why a gobblers head changes color.It helps attract hens and also warns other gobblers.And yep they can see flouresent orange too.
