    WHERE in Canada did Anthony cut the provolone? As for Concetta, she must have some opposite condition to colorblindness.

    A group of pandas is called an “embarrassment?” “Kung Fu Panda 3” just made a lot more sense.

    OK, seriously. Who the heck came up with names for groups of animals? An EMBARRASSMENT of pandas? That’s not very nice! They’re adorable! Some of them make sense. A murder of crows, a scourge of mosquitos, parliment of owls, prickle of procupines…..Those are good. But gaggle of geese, creche of penguins, rhumba of rattlesnakes (last I knew snakes didn’t dance).

    You can have an embarrassment of riches and that is a good thing, so why not pandas. I think she can see more hues, not colors. I doubt she can see infrared or UV.

    Red light and green light make yellow light. Red pigment and green pigment make brown. Mixing light and pigment work differently in that respect. Mixing light is an additive process, while mixing pigment is a subtractive process (the pigments only reflect the color of light you see, absorbing the other wavelengths). Thus, while blue, red, and yellow are the primary colors for pigments, blue, red, and green are the primary colors for light. That’s why pixels on a screen are composed of blue, red, and green components.

    Concetta Antico is a tetrachromat, giving her eyes the ability to see up to one hundred times more colors than a normal human being. A tetrachromat is the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cells in the eye instead of the usual three.

    I did some googling and found out that the human eye can see seven million colors. That means that at one hundred times she can see seven hundred million colors. I wonder, has she ever counted the number of colors she sees.

    Ok, Many of the previous replies say we can see a mix of red and green which we perceive as “Brown”. She sees a color that is exactly “red-green”. We cannot see it so there’s no way for me to describe it other than in wavelengths but 99.999% of people would still see “brown”. SHe could mix that color with paint, do an entire painting with varying shades of it, but all we would see is a big brown canvas.

    Very good, I read about it too. They said you can train your brain to get an idea about it- hold a red card in front of one eye and a green cards in front of the other and let your eyes relax. I did it and thought for a brief moment I saw it before my brain thought “Brown”. It was weird.
