I suspect it’s highly relevant that if someone were to actually grow up in a grayscale environment, they wouldn’t be capable of experiencing blue.
Results of gene therapy for color blindness suggest otherwise. Maybe those monkeys and mice cannot experience colors, but they react as if they can.
I’m really want to try this myself. Infrared sensitive opsin in a retina, isn’t it wonderful?
