I’m slightly colour blind and have an app on my phone that can simulate my deficiency. I take a photo and it shows the views side by side. I adjust it til they look the same and then show my wife (with her stupid perfect colour vision) and she can describe the difference in what I’m seeing.

On rare occasions she says what I’m seeing looks better, so it’s not all bad

What blind animals see:

What mastodon users see:

There are two bands of color ranging from Red to Purple. The top one is labeled: “What we see” and the bottom one is labeled “What animals with a larger color range than ours see:”

The joke is that both color bands are the same because the viewer is presumed to be human, and therefore cannot perceive the extra colors.
