What are the 12 colors that mantis shrimp see? We should be able to name them!

Seems to depend on the species but humans see from about 390 to 700nm, mantis shrimp apparently see about 300 to 720. So they can detect into the infrared and a little into the ultraviolet, and then ten or so steps in between.
