Shrimp actually have less color range.

They've got more receptor types in their eyes than humans, but lack the ability to interpolate any mixed color data they're receiving, so they basically only see the 12 colors/shades while humans perceive an entire spectrum.

They were probably making reference to the colours visible to mantis shrimp

Hmmm I just read the study and while a plausible explanation it doesn’t seem to be a settled matter.

You could have specified you were speaking about mantis shrimp to begin with and skipped being snarky for no reason.
