In 2012, a genetic analysis confirmed that Concetta’s enhanced colour vision can be explained by a genetic quirk that causes her eyes to produce four types of cone cells, instead of the regular three which underpin colour vision in most humans. Four cones give Concetta the potential for what researchers call tetrachromacy (from Greek ‘tetra’ – four, and ‘khrōma’ – colour), instead of normal trichromatic colour vision (from Greek ‘tria‘– three). This means that her eyes can enjoy a diversity of colours that is about 100 times greater than what is accessible to the rest of us.

While tetrachromacy is so rare that it makes headlines every time a new case emerges, it might come as a surprise that women with four cone types in their retinas are actually more common than we think. Researchers estimate that they represent as much as 12% of the female population (4). So why aren’t we surrounded by women with extraordinary colour vision? Researchers have found that only a small fraction of women who possess an extra cone type actually get to enjoy more colours. So what does it take to be a true tetrachromat? How does the human retina come to produce four cone types, and why does it only concern women? More importantly, why don’t all women fulfil their genetic potential?
