Some women are tetrachromatic (unlike the rest of us, who are trichromatic). Apparently, this only gives them more depth to existing colors. |

I heard that our eyes only see a small spectrum of colors....So, what is it when we see all the spectrums?....could that be possible? |

You could see everything in violet or something, i doubt your brain could really recreate a color its not made to perceive from the start. Im going to try it , its a great idea for an experiment. |

Why would it be only more depth to existing colors? I'd personally think it would mean something like a color on the spectrum and its normal equiv in RGB look different.. how do you do that and still only have "more depth in existing colors"? |

Certain animals can see infrared and ultraviolet light. Snakes can see infrared and I believe that dogs can see a little bit of ultraviolet. |

I guess my point is that you'd need 4 dimensions to represent the colors that a tetrachromatic person can see, but only 3 for trichromatic persons, so I don't think you can just map tetrachromatic colors to trichromatic colors.. |

First off, it is impossible to see "new" colors in a dream. See O'nus's post in the tutorial section, or do a search. I remember making a couple long posts about this a couple years ago. |

I don't think the Lounge is the proper place for this thread. |

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how three numbers can describe every color for a person who sees 4 primary colors.. |

in case you have some mutant-human-being who is able to see all the color spectrum (meaning he/she has the necessary neuron-photo-sensors in his/her eyes) it would be impossible for the brain to filter all that into a clear and use-full image ... cause u have all sorts of frequencies around you ... |

If I knew Picasso, I would buy myself a gray guitar and play ...
As I said, it it impossible comprehend how it would actually look. You have no idea what it would actually "look like" as we as human beings have never seen the EMR itself before. If everybody was deaf and somehow someone brought up the idea of detecting a small portion of EMR (that we call white light), someone like you might say "but it would be impossible for our brain to filter all of the frequencies into a usable image." |

RGB is a useful model precisely because the eye/brain actually has red, green, and blue filtration. Color-blind people are missing one or two of these, which is why there are different specific types of color-blindness. |

Wow, so much science behind just one simple concept. well it wasnt really a simple concept. haha. |

I think this mixes up qualia and the electromagnetic spectrum a little too much. |
