About Tetrachromacy

Tetrachromacy is a condition that allows some people to see colors that are not visible to most of the population. It is a condition that results when an additional type of color receptor cell is present in the eye. With normal color vision, humans can see approximately one million different colors. Tetrachromats can perceive an estimated 100 million color variations

Tetrachromacy amplifies the eye’s ability to distinguish between shades of colors. This creates a visual result that some might call ‘super vision’. Tetrachromacy is a rare genetic phenomenon that is believed to only affect females, with an estimated 12% of women worldwide who may be Tetrachromatic.
