dichromatism
Dichromatism refers to a condition in which a person or animal can perceive only two primary colors and their combinations, as opposed to the normally perceived three primary colors by most humans. It is a form of color blindness. In a broader term, it can also refer to the phenomenon where a substance or material displays different colors when observed from different angles or under different lighting conditions.

Dichromatism
Dichromatism is a phenomenon where a material or solution's hue is dependent on both the concentration of the absorbing substance and the depth or thickness of the medium traversed. In most substances which are not dichromatic, only the brightness and saturation of the colour depend on their concentration and layer thickness. Examples of dichromatic substances are pumpkin seed oil, bromophenol blue and resazurin. When the layer of pumpkin seed oil is less than 0.7 mm thick, the oil appears bright green, and in layer thicker than this, it appears bright red. The phenomenon is related to both the physical chemistry properties of the substance and the physiological response of the human visual system to colour. This combined physicochemical–physiological basis was first explained in 2007.
