    You would have to lose some sort of color if you use regular retinas to see a larger spectrum. You’d need new retinas with more cones to get new colors. Fun part is, you could have those colors all be translated into visual light if you do have more cones. More cones let you differentiate color better and thus gives you more discernable colors. Tetrachomats can interpret a broader spectrum that way.
