I saw the following meme the other day on that topic which I found amazing:

shrimps have more cones because they're dumb

On the other hand I hope my point was clear about pink being perceived as a color when it doesn't exist as a singular wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum: something the person I was responding to was seemingly arguing that it then invalidates what we might call a "color". By his logic "pink" shouldn't be considered a color, which I disagree with!
