For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

There are also the rare tetrachromagraphic people who see 4 colors. Most people have RGB, tetras have an orange receptor.

Yeah, I should have said:

And some have a different amount of types cones than others. Then there’s the ratio of the different comes to rods.

But it's not really like there's distinct type of cones, it's about the wavelength the cones capture based on the angle of the cone.

So while normally theyre: long, medium, or short

They can also be at any point on that scale, and even so far that they're essentially a new type of cone

But every cone is going to be a little different based on its exact shape and everyone has different ratios. Think of it like snowflakes.

If you measure exact enough, no two people will experience the same color, and you don't even between your two eyes. It's just very unlikely to be a noticable difference, and our brains like to do "post processing" stuff to make it similar.
