C)bichromatic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Color matching experiments involve finding the mixture of three primary colors (usually red, green, and blue) that is required to match a given test color. This is consistent with the trichromatic theory of color vision, which proposes that our perception of color arises from the activity of three types of color receptors (cones) in the eye, each of which is most sensitive to a particular range of wavelengths. By varying the relative activation of these cones, we are able to perceive a wide range of different colors. The metamer theory proposes that color perception arises from the comparison of the relative activity of just two types of receptors, while the bichromatic theory proposes that it arises from the activity of only one type of receptor. However, color matching experiments have consistently supported the trichromatic theory.
