Kangaroos have exceptional eyesight, and there is no evidence to prove that they don't see colour. A recent scientific study which considered the eye structure of different marsupials suggests that these creatures can see better than people can.
Because of the position of the kangaroos' eyes in its head, it is believed they have 300 degree vision. However, they seem to respond only to moving objects.
Research suggests that the ability of marsupials to see is even better than that of humans. Research has identified that marsupials can see all the colours of the spectrum, and some types of marsupials can even detect ultraviolet, which people (and many animals) cannot see. Their eye structure has the necessary cones which allow the eye to see in full colour.
See the link to the report below for more details.
Kangaroos can see at night and are often quite active during the night time hours. That is, unfortunately, why one often finds fresh kangaroo roadkill on outback roads in the predawn hours. (Even though they can see well, they cannot think to avoid hopping in front of cars and trucks.)

Kangaroos have exceptional eyesight, and because they are nocturnal, it can be assumed that they also see very well in the dark. A recent scientific study which considered the eye structure of different marsupials suggests that these creatures can see better than people can.

Yes. Kangaroos, like all marsupials, are believed to have strong colour vision.
