 It is good to realize that are things dichromats (humans or animals) can see that we can not see: http://128.111.69.4/~jevbratt/zoomorph_blog/2010/04/less-is-more.html

3 not 4 colors

 Humans see in three colors, not four. Green is not a primary color. It's technically cyan, magenta, and yellow (atleast for printers), or red, blue, yellow. Blue and yellow make green, thus it can't be a primary color. Though, for TV it's red, green, blue because of additive light properties. Most light we see is from subtractive (light bouncing off of stuff)
