Did someone tell you rainbows contain all the colors? Well, that's not true! It is missing a whopping 28% of colors!🌈

It's missing way more of them if you're colorblind! 🥲

I feel you, I am also one of those poor bastards constantly being corrected about what color something is, however that doesn't mean they're missing, they're just hiding from us.

My partner is tetrachromatic so I see way less colours than them. Apparently. Maybe it's all a big joke by paint companies and only a couple of colours exist.
