So you're saying that a mantis shrimp wouldn't have created this accident?

That was a myth, they can’t tell colors apart very well at all. Also eww The Oatmeal, that shit should have died back in 2012 along with all the Mustache crap.

A study published in Science by Hanne H. Thoen and colleagues in January of 2014 showed that mantis shrimp are actually worse than we are when it comes to discriminating differences in color. In other words, the fact that the mantis shrimp has a greater variety of color photoreceptors does not endow the crustacean with better color vision.
