Question

The trichromatic theory of color vision proposes that there are three types of color receptors in the human eye, each sensitive to a different primary color (red, green, and blue). These receptors work together to create the perception of all other colors. This is similar to the mechanism used in television sets which use additive mixing of the primary colors red, green, and blue to create all other colors.
