\"How<\/p>\n

On LinkedIn<\/em>, Professor Diana Derval<\/a> posted this image with an explanation why different people will see significantly different numbers of colours:<\/p>\n

You see less than 20 color nuances: you are a dichromats, like dogs, which means you have 2 types of cones only. You are likely to wear black, beige, and blue. 25% of the population is dichromat.<\/p>\n

You see between 20 and 32 color nuances: you are a trichromat, you have 3 types of cones (in the purple\/blue, green and red area). You enjoy different colors as you can appreciate them. 50% of the population is trichromat.<\/p>\n

You see between 33 and 39 colors: you are a tetrachromat, like bees, and have 4 types of cones (in the purple\/blue, green, red plus yellow area). You are irritated by yellow, so this color will be nowhere to be found in your wardrobe. 25% of the population is tetrachromat.<\/p>\n

You see more than 39 color nuances: come on, you are making up things! there are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly translated by your computer screen anyway \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue\/black or white\/gold dresses, no matter the background light \ud83d\ude09<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
