Mantis shrimps have the most complex eyes in the animal kingdom and have the most complex front-end for any visual system ever discovered. Compared with the three types of photoreceptor cell that humans possess in their eyes, the eyes of a mantis shrimp have between 12 and 16 types of photoreceptor cells. Furthermore, some of these stomatopods can tune the sensitivity of their long-wavelength colour vision to adapt to their environment. (Wiki)
TIL this was refuted. Instead it was determined that shrimps lack the brainpower to properly process which us why they have more photoreceptor cells. They actually see less color overall.
