When does an infant start to see color?

Infants don't see color in the same way adults do right away. Their color vision develops gradually over the first few months of life. Here's a general timeline:

* Birth to 2 months: Infants can only distinguish between black, white, and shades of gray.

* 2 to 4 months: They begin to see shades of red and green.

* 4 to 6 months: They start to see more colors, including blue and yellow.

* By 6 months: Infants can see the full spectrum of colors, but their color perception might still be less precise than an adult's.

It's important to note that these are just general guidelines. Each infant develops at their own pace.
