Radiolab did an episode on Colors some time ago [1] and in one of the parts they discuss tetrachromacy and interview a supposed tetrachromat [2]. Worth listening to just because it's Radiolab and to see (hehe) how they convey colours through audio.

Great Radiolab episode. On a related note, the Crayola-fication of the world [1] and XKCD color survey [2]
