: I've done enough research to form a hypothesis that reds and greens to us
: trichromats appear as hues of yellows to you. Are any of those words
: different from the others? Try playing around with the first four hex
: digits in the font color value.

: Our medium cone is in perfect position to split "yellow" into green
: and red. Colorblinds have it replaced with a mutant cone that is either
: slightly longer or slightly shorter. From this, I have logically deduced
: that tetrachromats and pentachromats take it to the next level: they have
: split yellow into three subcolors rather than our normal two, and
: pentachromats have four new primary colors that make yellow combined.

: But wait, there's more. Your "yellow" may be more of an Orange or
: chartreuse depending on which mutant cone you got, and your blue is
: probably more what we perceive as azure or turquoise , without our hard
: blue between the two. but also without the green that is apparently
: part of those shades, because that distinctive color is swallowed by
: halves into your blue and yellow.

: So because pentachromats exist, I'm always wistfully wondering about the
: mysterious subcolors that make green and red, because that is my
: inevitable conclusion: red is a combination of two colors that we
: trichromats can't even comprehend, as is green. And it goes deeper if the
: potential number of cones is unlimited. It actually is limited by the
: planck length, but consider the majestic mantis shrimp with its
: sixteen-cone hexadecachromatic vision.

Admittedly I don't know much about the mechanics of it all. All I know is:

- give me one of those dot test things and I'll fail it spectacularly

- blue appears to me to be by far the strongest of the primary colors

- your example of green text looks really similar to this board's default yellow text

- I often have trouble telling between blue and purple; they both look blue to me because the blue color dominates

- line charts that differentiate the lines via subtly different shades of colors piss me the hell off

- the minor compilers look just plain red to me in all the Marathon games

- the Pfhor textures in M2 don't bother me, and I actually kinda like them 🙈
