Every human eye perceives the exact same visible light spectrum
Scientific evidence directly refutes the idea that every human eye perceives the exact same visible light spectrum, as genetic variations, differences in retinal photopigments, and conditions like color blindness or tetrachromacy result in diverse color perception among individuals.
The claim states that every human eye perceives the exact same visible light spectrum. Papers like [0], [2], [8], and [10] establish that human color vision varies significantly due to genetic differences in opsin genes, photopigment densities, and individual observer characteristics (such as color blindness or variations leading to potential tetrachromacy). Therefore, the claim is clearly refuted by the evidence.

Genetic sequence variations in retinal photopigments lead to notable differences in individual human color perception and non-normative phenotypes.

Genotypic and phenotypic testing reveals multiple variations, including normal trichromacy, potential tetrachromacy, and dichromacy, proving humans do not all perceive the exact same spectrum.
