What color is the sky? Blue, right? But do I see blue the
same way you do? Maybe my blue is your pink or my pink is your magenta.
It sounds odd, but after the Internet had a full-blown
existential crisis over the color of a dress (white and gold forever!) it has
become pretty apparent that not everyone sees all the pretty hues present in a
box of Crayola crayons.
For instance, many see a distinctive difference between the
shades laser lemon, unmellow yellow, and canary while others view all three as
simply “yellow.”
Really, it all boils down to how many cones, or color
receptors, you have in your eyes. Professor Diana Derval, a neuro-marketing
expert, posted an interesting test that determines how many cones you have.
After I took the simple test, it was fascinating to see how many people — and
creatures — see the world the same exact way I do…
To take
the test, count the colors you see in this spectrum:
How
many did you see?
If you saw…
Fewer
than 20 distinctive colors: Derval says you’re a dichromat and only
have two cones in your eye. Twenty-five percent of the population are
dichromats. Yet, don’t fret, you’re in good company — dogs are also dichromats
too. Dervals says dichromats have a tendency to wear a lot of black, beige, and
blue clothing.
Between
20 and 32 distinctive colors: You’re a trichromat. That
means you have three types of cones in your eye in the purple/blue, green, and
red area. Dervals says trichromats enjoy different colors and can appreciate
them. About 50 percent of the population is a trichromat.
Between
32 and 39 distinctive colors: Just like a bumblebee, you’re
a tetrachromat. Dervals says these kinds of people have four types of cones.
They also get irritated by yellow and will most likely never wear it. About 25
percent of the population is a tetrachromat.
More
than 39 distinctive colors: You better count again! Dervals says there
are only 39 different colors in the test and probably only 35 are properly
translated by the computer screen.
