Does anyone know the science of this, where I see all the other basic colors the same as most, but this is lime green to me? I must have more blue detectors?

@qurlyjoe in this case it seems to simply be a difference in our cones. It's just funny to me that yellow vests are green. But now, workers' vests here Javed changed to orange.
@randulo the word for the color affects the perception of the color
@ShiitakeToast I'll have what they're having.🤣
@randulo Whatever it is, I have the same issue
@dnkboston something to do with our cones.
@randulo
I’ve seen a couple articles lately about how there seem to be a very few people in the world, like maybe 5 or 6 known so far, who have an extra color sense that gives them the ability to see colors none of the rest of us can. I’ll see if I can track it down. Also, Ed Yong’s book, An Immense World, goes into all the senses we and other animals have.
