One thing I've always been bitter about is that the visible colour spectrum is so small. But listening to this video helped alleviate that bitterness just a little bit. Thanks, SciShow!

I love SciShow compilations! Single episodes are great for interesting tidbits, but the compilations help connect those tidbits to create well-rounded general knowledge about a subject. Plus, I've usually seen the episodes they contain, so it's a refresher that helps solidify the knowledge in my head. Long live SciShow!

Some humans have tetrachromacy but many never realize it because we have designed our world with colors intended for trichromacy. Even though someone with a fouth cone can see 100x more colors than someone with three cones, it doesn't matter too much in most situations. I still want it though.

@NeshaeSerpentine 3 года назад

As someone who has s slight blurry vision to night vision tradeoff I have to day I'm on the fence about how worth it it is. On one hand, I can see during the night well enough to get around, often without a flashlight if I'm outside. However it isn't good enough to find something I've dropped on the ground, and frankly, though it works a little bit better, neither is the day vision. So life tends to be frustrating any time I need yo find something I dropped or if someone wants to show me something from across the room but if something happens where I have to be sneaky and use the dark to my advantage I'm confident it might come in handy.

@firstlast-cs6eg 3 года назад

Siamese cats could also benefit from that mutation. Darker colors absorb and thus heat easier. The parts of the body that are cooler need heat more and conveniently are a darker color and if this color change keeps happening, conveniently adaptable according to environmental circumstances.

That only represents the spectrum of color their eyes have the ability to process most easily. If we lived in a black and white world all of a sudden they would have the slightest adjustment. to change our eye would be hard ours are hardwired differently.

My favorite colorful creature is the Sabethes Cyaneus mosquito (there is no common name for it). Its body refracts light so that it reflects nearly the whole rainbow- like a prismatic mosquito. The forelegs have feather-like structures which are also similarly refractive. They’re pretty creepy/cool!

Color is a human construct defined by our vision. Electromagnetic wavelengths perceived by our eye are an interplay of light source as well as reflectance: view a classic Coca-Cola can under a red light and it appears solid red (thank you Dr Tyson), but those wavelengths aren't "color." The description is entirely contextual; thus the reason that many cultures had disagreements over what colors were distinct enough to name in the first place. And you can completely overhaul the perception of color in a closed environment by simply swapping out the light bulbs. The wavelengths of photons are not color. Ask a film development lab what color something is, and you'll be asked under what conditions you mean.
