Do discus see color

[Filip]

I haven't yet found any specific info about discus vision but if most fish have colour vision I see no reason for discus eyes to be any different .
Here is some basic and common fish vision info from wikipedia claiming most fish see colours :

A lot of people have said that they’ve found that their discus more readily eat red colored foods as compared to other colors so I guess that implies that discus can differentiate colors. I’ve never had any issues with my discus eating a variety of different colored foods. My seafood mix usually comes out a yellowish green color and my fish eat it with gusto.

Most fish see colors, that is the reason of the vibrant on fishing lures.

Thanks seeing that they possibly see color, is it possible that when choosing a mate the color is a factor. Like if a discus sees another one of a bright color there is an attraction?
