Unbelievable! Some People Can See 100 Times More Colors Than You

Did you know women tend to see more colors than men? As genetically women’s eyes have 2 X chromosomes which make them see more shades than men.

What if we say there is a third type as well which catches colors 100 times more than the average human eyes. For instance -if we were told that leaf is not just green or a regular grey pebble has yellow, green, and pink to it? Buttercup is not just yellow and our surroundings are filled with colors that many eyes can’t catch.

Then, we are actually seeing the world through the eyes of the tetrachromat people.

Tetrachromacy is a certain condition where the eyes see colors around them basically 100 times more than a normal vision. An average person sees approximately 1 million colors but when it comes to tetrachromat, they have an extra cone class in the eyes which lets them see about 99 million more colors.

True Colors | Concetta Antico

GROWING UP on the outskirts of Sydney, Concetta Antico was a peculiar child. Not for the way she foraged the natural world like her friends, nor for what she brought back—a dull crow’s feather, a lump of sandstone, a handful of blueberries. What set Concetta apart, as she turned these treasures over in her small hands, were the colors she saw in them. The black crow feather dazzled her eyes with violet and turquoise and deep flashes of brilliant emerald. The ridges of sandstone shimmered and skipped. Indigos, purples, grays, golds, and azures arrayed the blueberry skins, while their insides popped with yellows, greens, golds, limes, pinks, and violets.

At school she painted the rough, playground fence with water from a metal pail and became immersed in the fantastical hues. The sun bounced off each droplet, bending its light into dancing prisms. Like her mother, she was an artist, painting rainbows. When her mother passed away a few years later, Concetta took refuge in nature. The clouds soothed her with their fragile lilac blues, slight blushes, and mercurial peaches. She found comfort in the thousands of fresh greens after a rain.
