By comparison, <a href="/wiki/Trichromat" class="mw-redirect" title="Trichromat">trichromats</a> need three primary colors, and <a href="/wiki/Tetrachromat" class="mw-redirect" title="Tetrachromat">tetrachromats</a> need four.

The resulting color vision is simpler than typical human trichromatic color vision, and much simpler than tetrachromatic color vision, typical of birds and fish. </p><p>A dichromatic color space can be defined by only <i>two</i> <a href="/wiki/Primary_color" title="Primary color">primary colors</a>. When these primary colors are also the <a href="/wiki/Unique_hues" title="Unique hues">unique hues</a>, then the color space contains the individuals <i>entire</i> gamut. In dichromacy, the unique hues can be evoked by exciting only a single cone at a time, e.g. monochromatic light near the extremes of the visible spectrum. A dichromatic color space can also be defined by non-unique hues, but the color space will not contain the individual's entire gamut. For comparison, a trichromatic color space requires three primary colors to be defined. However, even when choosing three pure <a href="/wiki/Spectral_color" title="Spectral color">spectral colors</a> as the primaries, the resulting color space will never encompass the entire trichromatic individual's gamut. </p><p>The color vision of dichromats can be represented in a 2-dimensional plane, where one coordinate represented brightness, and the other coordinate represents hue. However, the perception of hue is not directly analogous to trichromatic <a href="/wiki/Hue" title="Hue">hue</a>, but rather a spectrum diverging from white (neutral) in the middle to two unique hues at the extreme, e.g. blue and yellow. Unlike trichromats, white (experienced when both cone cells are equally excited) can be evoked by monochromatic light. This means that dichromats see white in the <a href="/wiki/Rainbow#Number_of_colours_in_a_spectrum_or_a_rainbow" title="Rainbow">rainbow</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Humans">Humans</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Dichromacy&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Humans"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Color_blindness" title="Color blindness">Color blindness</a></div> <p>Dichromacy in humans is a form of color blindness (color vision deficiency).
