Val's said yinglets have similar color vision systems to humans, so they likely have either the same, or very similar cone cells for their vision. they typically have red, green, and blue, but not UV. however, over any part of the retina in their big eyes, they have less of those cones to work with
their vision can't distinguish different kinds of the same hue as easily, so in a pile of similar hues and shades that many humans would recognize as a dozen, a yinglet might see three or four. they like bold, bright colors typically, and this might be part of why that is
that one shade of blue is a possible exception, but as far as I can tell, that's also a cultural thing, not instinctual; and this one AU sequence with Ran claims in the description that which specific shade of blue might set off that reaction will vary from yinglet to yinglet, though I'd figure the reed itself is the "ground truth" there
I haven't seen many folks play out having this different color vision in character, but maybe some folks would get some positive feels from it. still, obviously, fan yinglets don't need to be stuck to this restriction, whether due to mutations or to being from a separate universe unrelated to the comic's yinglet biology, so don't feel confined, y'all!
Zhis may have ramifications on my job as an art restorer...
Achy, tired, I have zhe malaise
I zhink I'm suffering under zhe yinglet grippe
