Okay but has anyone discussed the vision of Cardassians (and other trek species, but I’m thinking specifically of a certain Cardassian tailor here). Some of those red/green colour combinations look garish to me but what if Cardassians are dichromats and can’t distinguish between them.

Much more harmonious. Much more Cardassian.

(I’m willing to bet Neelix is a tetrachromat at least.)
