Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trichromatic theory is concerned with the three types of cones in the retina and how they respond to different wavelengths of light, while opponent-process theory proposes that there are opposing color channels (red-green, blue-yellow, black-white) that work in opposition to each other at the level of ganglion cells in the retina and in the brain. Therefore, trichromatic theory is associated with cones in the retina, and opponent-process theory is associated with ganglion cells in the retina.
