My daughter has something like this. She can see colours nobody else can, but pays for it a little by not being able to see as much out of the corner of her eye

My daughter has something like this. She can see colours nobody else can, but pays for it a little by not being able to see as much out of the corner of her eyes than most people.
One optician panicked so much at what she said they referred her to the hospital in case she was having a stroke! And that's when we discovered what she can do. I just thought she was good at picking clothes that went together well.
- goto11 7y ago> I just thought she was good at picking clothes that went together well. Good for her, but I doubt this is because she can "see colors nobody else can". If that was the case, she would most likely be worse at picking colors which (to the average eye) goes together well. Maybe she just have good taste?
- kaitai 7y agoHow do you justify the idea she'd be worse at picking colors that go together? If you pick points that are close together in four-dimensional space (to make a simplistic analogy) they'll continue to be "close" in a topological sense under any linear projection to three-dimensional space. Or for a different analogy, if objects group together under a filtration, they'll continue to group together under a coarsening of that filtration.
- goto11 7y ago"Go well together" is different than "close together" if we are talking about matching clothes. Color matching effects is based on distances in the color wheel. Closest together is boring, largest distance is jarring. If you imaging a new axis only visible to tetrachomats, the color matching effects appreciated to a tetrachomat will most likely not have the same effect or even be visible to regulars.
