Certainly -- I'm actually in two minds about this, but I'm thinking that trolls actually do not perceive light outside a very narrow range of colour because they are specifically described as having "very bad eyesight". Their sight is also very much a secondary sense, unlike humans.

Without that definition of trollish bad eyesight, I would probably have thought that they saw the full visible spectrum in fuzzy shades of grey plus the reds.

I still think that they would be able to distinguish between black aka any non-red-tone colour and complete darkness, because they would see that darkness completely differently to us ; not as an absence of visible light, but as a thing unto itself.
