- I'm really interested in eyes, and one subject in particular that makes me happy about them in how we perceive color. Eyes are rad! Thus I decided to make a video about tetrachromacy. It's not talked about a lot, so I thought it'd be cool to do a lil crash course with some personal stuff mashed in.
More about tetrachromacy:

As an artist, I love colors. If I had the ability to see more, that would be absolutely amazing
Doodle Poodles porl
funny
You might actually but you wouldn't know because the colors you see is normal to you.. You have to take a simple test for it.
Abigail Jo what test should I take?
Im a tetrachroment with a colour blind brother
Your glasses look broke
+KyleWhoEatsKustard *broken
Sirmel11
I actually don't know why I wrote "broke"
+KyleWhoEatsKustard Probably your subconscious expressing itself
My glasses are broke. Unfortunately I'm pretty broke, too, so until they fall apart beyond use I'm rockin them.
tmpEngine Dang. Shadeeeeeeee
I also have tetrachromacy. I recently had a test regarding it and my eye doctor said that i was tetrachromatic. I wish i could show the world what i could see.
I really wish I am a tetrachromat.
Symphonia doll same
We all do :(
@Bebop B Maybe you can wear some sort of filter glasses, if there is one.
I wish I could see x-rays and gamma rays. Just more shades are kinda not doing for me.
I have tetrachromacy but didn't know until this year, my family and boyfriend think that's why I'm good at painting realism. It's crazy because my boyfriend has mild protan colourblindness and I'm more amazed by the way he sees colours
I have Tetrachromacy too.
How do you see the rainbowl?
@@pipedlplara4792 I can’t really describe it, I don’t know how to compare what I see to others. I tend to notice that I see more purples than others but I don’t really mention the other colours 😂
@@dollybentley4029 I see the same as the LGBTQ flag, it is like a long strip and I only see 1 tone of each color but blurred on the edges but intense in the center, and each color merges with the previous one.
I'm talking about 7 colors
@@pipedlplara4792 ah! That’s cool! For me each colour is completely separate and stands out very boldly, and there’s definitely a handful of each colour. Like a few different reds, oranges, blues etc etc. I get so excited when I see rainbows! I’ve noticed a few people don’t see the second rainbow and pretty much no one sees the third one 🥺
What kind of online tests did you do? Because if you are referring to tests that measure your perception of colors, it is impossible to create a test for tetrachromacy on a RGB screen, since they only can show the colors that a trichromat is able to see.
12% of females are tetrachromats? I highly doubt that. If they really exist, they are much less common than 12%.
Anders Amdal Taftø It's probably true, but many don't realize what they're seeing. Or are talked down for being too 'creative' with explaining colours. That's my life in a nutshell. I thought I was seeing what everyone else was.
+Anders Amdal Taftø If you use a Agua screen(or something like that by sharp) it includes yellow.
+Anders Amdal Taftø If you use a Agua screen(or something like that by sharp) it includes yellow.
Im pretty sure its like 2 or 3%
Orangeblossom you do not have colorblindness if you are a women, it is less .1% women
Finally, a video about tetrachromacy that is not a ton of clickbait. There needs to be an actual science video on this topic, way too much fake stuff online
I have lost the interest to know whether she can see the unseen colors because she cannot speak the way a psychologically sound person speaks
I am curious if tetrachromats just see colors more vivid and detailated (IE instead seeing white tetrachromats see a combination of pastel pinks and pastel blues etc)
Or can they see an extra color? Completely different from the ones I see?
When I say "different" I mean in the way that red is different from blue, while pink is related to red. Do they see a new color that cannot be obtained by combining the existent colors?
I am lazy, and so far I haven't seen a clear answer to this question.
I've been trying to imagine a new color... and I failed. I wonder what it would look like.
As I understand it, in addition to blue, green and red cones, they also have yellow cones. That means that they can see the difference between "real yellow" and "fake yellow" which is red and green mixed together. So for them, computer screens would be unable to reproduce the color of a yellow flower for example. But yeah what it looks like to be able to distinguish between real and fake yellow is probably impossible for us trichromats...
No extra colour because that would require not only an extra cone type but also a rewiring of the visual cortex. Also, normal vision people under LSD don't report seeing new colours (but colour blind people do). I think you are right about seeing the fine distinctions clearly.
tetrachromats dont really see more colors. only GOOD think they can do is uhh distinguish the yellows better by a tiny margin. cons are well, giving your kids 50 percent chance to be colorblind. also, male tetrachromats dont exist. being a tetrachromat requires you to have 2 x chromosomes which uhhhh, yeah that... also, only way you can tell you are a tetrachromat is by a genetic test, so dont listen to those people who have been *checked by an eye doctor*, because they are lying.
@@h3rteby i can do that-
This is really interesting. I had no idea about this. Thank you for the quick informative video.
Wait people don't notice when the grass is a different shade? Has my whole life been a lie???
No, usually people with normal color vision can tell when the grass is a different shade. It looks greener after it rains. She may or may not be a tetrochromat; she hasn't been tested, but it's only colorblind people who see the grass as only one shade.
hate to point this out but pretty sure we evolved from dichromat to trichromat
+Jacky Sellers nope, we used to be tetrachromatic, but as our need to obsorb ultraviolet light wasnt needed anymore, it was "evolved" out of most mammals
So do you see a lot more colors, or does everything just seem more saturated?
Where can you get tested for tetrachromacy, I think I may be one too
dude i love your thoughts about life, very very very similar to the way i think. We all percept life completely differently, and its such a beautiful thing to think about :)
Hello! It's good to meet others who see things a little differently. You've got a new sub. :)
could you try to explain what the 4th color looks like? I can't find anyone else who did
Which tests did you take?
"My friends and I"
Shut up
am I tetrachromaic, I see a lot of different shades when people only see two. I mostly see 4 or 6
How do you see the rainbowl?
I've seen an eye doctor and she did about 15 renditions of eye blob tests on me and apparently confirmed I'm tetrachromatic even though I'm a male. Honestly don't know how this happened but it did so I'm real happy considering for guys it's really rare. :)
It's not really rare, it is simply impossible. The gene is tied to the female chromosome so either you are a medical miracle or your parents gave you a sex change when you were a baby without telling you.
lol nope sorry
Any gender can be.. It's a myth that it's only women.
It simply means you passed all the color tests and have excellent color vision. And, no! She did *not* confirm that you're a bona-fide tetrachromat. Additionally, I'm guessing she was an optometrist and not an ophthalmologist.
@@abigailjo6014 biology is not a "myth". Real studies and genes are certainly not a "myth".
You cannot take a test for tetrachromatic in a RGB screen because they are not programmed to see the forth color
I feel like I might be tetrachromatic but I dont know for a fact I take youtube tests and i do fine but is there a legit test i can take to know for sure?
I took a test and I got every questions right, but none of my parents or nobody in my family is colorblind (at least from what I know)
I went to buy a car and noticed that the bumper was a different colour no one else could see it but me.
It was super annoying but I asked the seller has it had a new bumper he said yes,. he was shocked I worked that out
I've recently discovered information on tetrachromacy. Which led me here. Color blindness is common in my family and Ive always had really good vision and been able to pick things out from a group with ease because i think colors pop pretty obviously. I'm on the hunt to find an accurate test to see if i'm tetra. I took 23andMe and It says im a carrier but cant confirm if i have the condition. Anyone else seeing this video now got any info on where i can find a legit test that isnt posted by buzzfeed or ridiculed as a fake test?
12 people have tetrachromacy, fewer have a functional extra cone (which would be you if true) I think most likely it’s just irrelevant sharp vision
Once upon a time some friends and I...
Yeah to a Tetrachromadd grass is green, blue, toss in some purple, yellow, gold, with a vibrant shimmer as if it's sparkling and has an almost rainbow aura...
You are not a Tetrachromad nor do you have Tetrachromacy you were just smoking to much weed
I'm not sure but I think I might be too. I have passed several tests and I'm constantly arguing with people about color lol. I don't know if either of my parents is colorblind... I do have a first cousin that is colorblind not that that has anything to do with me. I'll probably never really know.
Find an optometrist with an anomaloscope. You look through a viewfinder and try to match two patches of yellow by turning a knob.
Now I'm wondering about my color perception!
I have this, but it is sad to know that I will not see like anyone else, makes me jealous.
If the test was online it's not correct because LCD's can't show the colors you are suppose to be seeing.
You’re not seeing it totally alone though! You’ve got some tetrachromat sisters out here! Enjoy you world and create art! Love and Light.
I think I'm tetrachromat I'm not even kidding.
5:10 I could also see all the shades of colors on the logo word "uhmqat"
RonTheGamer - Roblox ur defienently not. Everyone could see those colors I asked people. I am a tetrachromat and was tested for it. When I look at leaves I see red orange yellow green blue and purple not what u people see. I see shades in the blue sky of gray purple shades of blue and white.
@@devynpetruzzelli2587 that's crazy whatt
@@devynpetruzzelli2587 how were you tested and what gender are you lol
Is it possible to have more than 4 cones... such as 5, 6, 7...
Nice glasses btw...
+Izar Swaraj Mantis shrimp have 16, but we don't know for a fact if they are capable of using all of them
*12
12-16 according to NatGeo
I've only ever heard of them having 12, maybe that's just the minimum though.
I am male but pass the tetrachromat test, I think it can be learned... I work with color and even the slightest differences between colors are very noticeable to me. What I mean by it might be learnable is that our brains already have all the colors we will ever see inside of it...it just uses cones to detect light which triggers the brains response. And because we only have red blue and green cones our cones work together to create the rest of the colors we see. All it would take is cell memory for cones to start creating different combinations for the brain to work with. I think a 4th cone makes it a "born this way" thing rather than needing some type of training or what not. But also most people with a 4th cone do not even actually see more colors...often the fourth cone is just a defect cone with no benefits.
What this video very carefully.
ua-cam.com/video/fDoAs0qN7lU/v-deo.html
Tetrachromacy can actually be a real fourth type of cone cell, and sometimes means they can actually see more colors, like me, for example. I have a fourth cell, and can see just a little bit more color than others. It isn't too much of a difference, but it is a bit noticable.
If you are reading this, you do not have a functioning yellow cone in your eyes. Functioning tetrachromacy has only ever been documented in one woman, and all it does is allow her to more easily differentiate similar shades of yellow. Dormant tetrachromacy, on the other hand, where the yellow cone is present but doesn't function, occurs in 12% of women, and is the same gene responsible for male protanomaly (a type of red-green color blindness)
Is there a surgery for this?
I'm sorry but I also passed 4 of those tests on youtube and the internet and I'm a colourblind boy...
You should try to discover if you can see color in other frequencies. Then people would know if tetrachromats can see colors that no one else can and not "only" new shades.
Will nobody talk about her broken galsses right frame ? 😂 Am I the only one noticing this?😂

Same thing happened when I took mushrooms.
TRIGGEREDDDDDDDDDD
A huge misconception is that people think 25% of women have this ability. But the truth is a lot lower than 0.000001 percent of women have this ability.
Monitors and TVs show more than three different colors, red, green and blue light make up those colors.....
its not Tetrachromatic. its Anomalie of 2 Eyse Colorblind. but this is Tri-chromatic with 2 eyse Colorblind.
I am tetrachromatic too. Just found out today, amazing?
One of the few points where I wish I was a woman.. Just for the chance of seeing more colours (Thou I have had Synestecia between reading body language and colours so that was pretty awesome ^^ Sadly I don't have it any more.)
Yeah, its kinda a shame that guys can never be tetrachromats. At least my mum thinks im special...
Chill dude! It was only intended to be a light hearted comment. But down to the point. Tetrachromacy in women is caused by a mutation in both their X chromeasomes. Men only have one x chromosome, so we can't get tetrachomacy this way. However, I did read a study that suggests 8% of men can have 4 photopigments, so perhaps im mistaken. I don't know how a man can be tetrachromatic, so i'm interested to know how its possible. Do you know how it works?
It's cool, no worries. Thats interesting, I never knew rod cells could contribute to colour vision. thanks for the info :)
They can but it would involve a more rare combination of events in the DNA: addition of an extra segment (it's called "indel"). Probably very rare.

You can't go off the test on the computer.
I see auras in white hues. But I'm a tetrachomate
I also want to add a comment, it is confirmed that most women see color better than men, and most men see contrast better than women, which usually means men can see in the dark better than women. I also want to say I am a male who has confirmed tetrachromacy
It's not that weird because in Greek chroma means color so....
I'm pretty sure I'm a tretra, cause I've been looking at several several tests, and never getting wrong answer, would also explain arguments on colors, like my favorite color I describe as half way between purple and half way between blue. Everyone says it's just plain blue, but I see the red tomes making it a unique beautiful color.
If you took those tests on a screen, and not in real life, those tests were fake because screens aren’t built to project the special colors.
This is exactly my favorite color too! Have you ever done a test irl? I relate like zero to some tetrachromatic experiences like seeing exponentially more light apparantly or seeing things in mosaic in terms of color or seeing strong color outlines on things. Or being exceptionally good with depth perception. Or seeing matching sets if things being slightly different in color. None of that! :( Unless I just can't tell what is the normal experience and what is an unusual experience, idk. Oh, or having a male relative with colorblindness so it's even possible the gene could be passed down onto you... I don't know of one...
But this artist (forgot her name rn, Conceta I think) always puts so much purple and peach into her paintings and has a really pretty way of fading purple with green in her paintings. And they look very realistic to me. I have always been very into peachy and purply colors, especially very blue-ish purples. Especially what I perceive as halfway between blue and what people call purple! Which is what I call purple and is my favorite color. I've wanted peach and purple as my two wedding colors since many, many years lmao. I'm so confused. I want to be tetrachromatic so so bad. One reason why is because I just love colors very much. I really do. Another reason is perhaps an unhealthy one. I just want to be special so badly. I really do... I have always wanted to have some sort of special ability, some sort of advantage over other people. I'm not sure where this stems from. Pride, insecurity, convinced that I am overall an incapable person and an advantage is the only way for me to be good at something? I don't know. But I do really want to be special.
also, most mammals used to be having ONLY 2 CONES not 3!!!!
I'm tetrachromatic.
You make a really good video and then never make another what??????????????????
I keep passing these dam tetrachromatic test and have mostly colorblind boys in my family
12%? That’s high.
all mammals where not tetracromats once upon a time. most have always been dicromats and primates are the only tricromatic group. only some aquatic animals and birds are tetracrommats.
No, she is correct.
Congrats on being tetrachromatic. I thought 8% of people are? I believe I am. I always ace all the tests. What made me examine it is that I work with colors. I am a wood finisher by trade and have worked with colors in other mediums over the years. We see colors more distinctly. I would make a color sample for customers and they would say, looks great. I would be thinking, needs more green or red or whatever. It happened always for years that 20 years ago I started to look into why. Found tetrachromacy. We also see better in the dark, try it. I never need a light on to move around a room at night. It's believed to be genetic. Passed on through heredity. Unique thing my father was partially colorblind but my grandfather was also a wood finisher. Perhaps he had it and it skipped a generation. Sorry about being longwinded but most people look at me funny when I bring it up. Fun fact reindeers are the largest land animal that gets it on a regular basis. So they can avoid the yellow snow its believed. Have fun.

My dad is colorblind o_o
Everyone here is tetrochromatic
my friends and i dude
Trichromate Humans can Create a mix of more as 200 colors and more are not Possible.
Trichromate have RODs of 125 milllion Shades.
and 10 million colors of Red Blue Green and Secondary Mixed of 200 colores.
Humans are 200-Chromatic. of Mixed.
lot of Birds have 8 or 20 Cones but this animals. cant mixe the color.
so Birds are 20-chromatic. and Humans or Delfins. 200-Chromtic
I'm a tetrachrom...
very unlikely
+Ayy Lmao That's what i was thinking.. Because I'm a male. But there is no other sane explanation for the range of colors I can see.
Lol, I'm a tetrachromat
stop looking at the grass and stard smoking that green stuff.. and i like that you think that the ballz are the moust interesting part of a body.. u look cool thumbs up!
The People of Monochrom. can see 125.000.000 Shades. same like color.
Black white picturs have same Shades. without color.
We see the colidascope of words . Ur head..fello Tetro
Tetrachromatic is... Father colorblind Red-blue.... The Mother Green-Blue...
the Dauther have XX chromosom and cant repair it. the dauther of 2 colorblind
have left eye. Red blue blind. and right eye. Green-Blue Coloblind
dauther of 2 Colorblinds... so have 2 Diferent colorblind eyse.
and Boys. get both eyes same colorblind...
and this girls cant see one color. both eyse are red or Blue. becouse her eyse not same colorblind and her brain change Left and right. she think its
Tetrachromatic. its Still Dichromatic. 2 Eyse colorblind...
*urhm*
Ватафак, как я тут оказался
I am almost certainly a tetrachromat. My mother’s brother and my cousin (son of my mother’s sister) are r/g colorblind.
I too, once made a comment that was ridiculed when I noticed “the sky looks really blue today!”
I can see into the ultraviolet spectrum. I have literally had to ignore parts of two different college level physics laboratory experiments because they both involved measuring the wavelengths of visible light...and I could see about twice as much purple as my lab partners.
On the plus side, it explains why I’ve never found haunted house attractions at all scary. They are all too well lit!
Why does this video have so much hate? I believe it is very informative and she really knows her stuff
You are not tetrachromatic. There are less than twelve people in the world who are truly tetrachomatic. There are other woman who have a fourth cone but it is entirely non functional. Those women see absolutely no differently than anyone else. Their cones are not plugged into anything, it's like having a pair of earphones that aren't plugged in. Also, true tetrachromatics barely see any differently than normal people. They do not see 100 million more colours than the rest of us. They simply are able to more easily distinguish between different shades of certain colours such as yellow. Something that would seem to be the same yellow to a normal person they would see as very slightly lighter or darker. They do not see outside of the human colour spectrum.
My dad's has Tetrachromacy, a doctor gave him the test when he was in his twenties. Tetrachronacy is more common in women, in fact, women typically have better color vision then men period. Bad genetic conditions such as color blindness are profoundly MORE rare in women then in men. Conversely GOOD genetic differences are profoundly more rare in men. My dad got really really lucky in the gene draw, he's also a super taster and has abnormally sensitive hearing.
the animal without mixing can see only 8 or 10 Colors...
we huamns and some other mamals can mixe and we have 200 or 300 difrent colors not Millions.
Who else is tetrachromatic? :’3 I don’t wanna be lonely-
cringiest video of the day
