Only 1 In 4 People Can See All The Colors In This Box. Can You?

The color of the sky is 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 strange, but after the Internet had a complete existential crisis over the blue/black or white/gold dress, 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, mellow 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 color spectrum test that determines how many cones you have. The objective of the test is to make people aware of the great variations in color perception among people supposed to have a similar and "normal vision."

You’re a dichromat and only have two cones in your eye. Twenty-five percent of the population are dichromats. Dervals says dichromats have a tendency to wear a lot of black, beige, and blue clothing.

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.

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.

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. It is highly probable that people who have an additional 4th cone do not get tricked by blue/black or white/gold dresses, no matter the background light.
