but then they can still set colors, that we don’t. Or at least there are some colors they can differentiate between, that we can’t.
e.g if they have a receptor for orange, yellow and red, then can differentiate between pure orange and orange that is 50% red and 50% yellow.
So both is true: We have more colors (because of brain-things), but they still have some colors, that we don’t (because of receptors).
Is this how colors work? Would we not just end up with the same result, with the Shrimps just using their one receptor to sense it, and us using ours to blend it into the same color?
Can you give any source for this? The text includes 2 key links and the screenshot obviously misses out on them

They trained mantis shrimp!? That’s more interesting than the color fact lol
This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen that had no real world implications
dafuq you mean fake colours, is white also fake then?
The are some colors that our brains make up that don’t actually exist, they’re called impossible colors, this video about it is pretty interesting imo
That doesn’t justify calling them fake. All colors are made up in our brains. At least call them composite
Pink and brown, I think?
Isn’t brown just a dark orange? I guess it would depend on the exact shade
I’ve always wondered what it would look like to be able to see outside the visible light spectrum
Like would it change the colors we can already perceive or would it turn making popcorn into the trippiest shit imaginable, or would it be like Lex Luthor in all-star superman and we suddenly are able to invent new genetic material or some crazy shit.
This means that when they invent TV they will need 9 more colors in addition to RGB.
And we had so much trouble creating a blue LED hopefully the rest are easier
To be fair, we don’t see like reverse engineered printing. Printing is reverse engineered seeing. If we saw like this post is claiming shrimp see, and blue was blue and green was green and yellow was yellow, we wouldn’t be able to print by mixing three colours. We’d need one pigment per photoreceptor, same as we do now.
Is there at least a new contender for their place?
