They see mostly in the yellow-green-blue spectrum. Your cat doesn't see her pink toy as pink the way we do, but she can see that it's a different color from her other toys, and she likes it for some reason known only to her. She is able to pick it out from the other toys on the basis of whatever color pink looks like to her.
