The choice of a deuteranomalous trichromat as the person who will see images as redder compared to a normal trichromat is based on the specific nature of their color perception. Deuteranomalous trichromats have a shifted sensitivity in their green photopigments. This means that their ability to perceive green wavelengths is altered, which can lead them to perceive red hues as more dominant or intense.

When exposed to full-spectrum light, their perception leans towards the red end of the spectrum because their altered green sensitivity causes them to misinterpret a combination of wavelengths that would typically be seen as a balanced color. Consequently, colors that involve both red and green (like browns or oranges) may appear redder than they would to someone with normal color vision, as they are less able to discriminate between red and green compared to a typical trichromat.

In contrast, individuals with other types of color vision deficiencies or those who are monochromats perceive colors quite differently due to their limited or singular cone type. Monochromats see the world primarily in shades of gray and do not process color in the same way, so they would not identify colors as redder. Protanomalous and
