Unfortunate news... scientists have discovered
that shrimp not see “extra colors”.
We thought that they did because they have 12
different molecules for photoreceptors, whereas
humans have only 3. BIG difference, right??
Nope. Turns out that they simply not have the
mental wherewithal to blend, and so needed a
separate receptor for each color. The human brain
adds color emissions together to create a singular
representative color, like reverse engineered
printing. Shrimp can’t that. They can’t take
light emitting “green” and light emitting “red” and
come back with “yellow”, like we They have
to have a receptor for yellow, and are relatively
horrible at distinguishing shades of colors.
So at the end of the day, not only shrimp not
have “extra colors”... they see less than we
Shrimp can’t see the fake colors
