Seems to be full of 'may be' information. Some people are going to more sensitive to color differences than others. However the conclusions feel like junk science to me.

HOW MANY COLORS DO YOU VIEW THE WORLD IN? NOW THIS EXPLAINS ALOT TO ME, NOW THAT I REALIZE I AM A "Tetrachromat Female"!

This is mind-boggling stuff, with the potential to overthrow lots of the philosophy of mind that is out there, too...

Would You Believe That Some Women Can See More Colors Than Most of Us?

This goes some way to explaining why I describe all colours using variants of red, blue, yellow.... (Although you could argue that colour only ever really exists in the mind. Synthaesthetic blind people can 'see' colours when they hear certain trigger words)

Yup yup yup, that's me! One of my brothers is colorblind, but both my mom and myself have very accute color vision. Interesting to find out why.

Tetrachromacy is the ability to see in 4 colours rather than the usual 3 or the colourblind persons 2. Some insects and animals have it but not humans ... or do they? Some females may have the ability to see in 4 colours.
