Four Color Receptors and One Mirror--A Good Mix?

In an answer in the question linked above, someone brought up the tapetum lucidum, a layer of tissue behind the retina that reflects light, increasing the availability to photoreceptors, though at the risk of losing detail. This mirror alone explains why animals look creepy when we expose them to flashlights or night cameras.

So would night-vision improve if a human has both tetrachromacy AND a tapetum lucidum?
