The trichromatic theory of color vision explains that our eyes have three types of color receptors, each sensitive to a different range of light wavelengths. This theory was first proposed by Thomas Young and Hermann von Helmholtz in the early 19th century and is widely accepted today. The author's mention of thousands of receptors sensitive to different ranges of light wavelengths aligns with the trichromatic theory.
