Fig. 6. Chromaticity diagrams depicting mature and immature Banksia
attenuata flowers. Chromaticity contrast (relative to mean immature
chromaticity) is plotted in Maxwellian coordinates (see
Kelber et al., 2003). (A)
Chromaticity for extant honey possums; (B) chromaticity for hypothetical honey
possums with L cone 
max at 580 nm (max
values beyond this being implausible for rhodopsins). It can be seen that this
long-wave shift makes the immature and mature chromaticities less distinct
from each other. Note that the mature samples lie on the left (M cone side) of
the immature samples, whereas for human vision, they would lie on the right (L
cone side).
