Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trichromatic theory of color vision states that our perception of color is based on the relative activity of three types of cones in the retina, which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. This theory suggests that there are three primary colors, red, green, and blue, and that other colors can be created by combining these three in different ways. It does not suggest that there are only three rods or cones in each eye or that rods are important for perceiving light colors.
