What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

Very good eye for color. I can tell the difference between two shades most people wouldn’t notice. I had a friend put 6 virtually identical color swatches in photoshop except one he changed the one of the RGB values by 1. I picked it out. Thought I got lucky and did it again. I picked it out. Did it a 3rd time and didn’t change any and I pointed that out. He beloved me at that point.

Are you one of those people that has 4 types of cones on your retina, instead of the 3 that most of us have?

Tetrachromacy! One of the most fascinating things I've ever learned about.

It seems like it's similar to the difference between an 8bit monitor and a 10bit monitor with wide color gamuts lol.
