What theories help us understand color vision?In other words, the trichromatic theory explains how color vision happens at the receptors, while opponent process theory interprets how color vision occurs at a neural level.
Which colors are our cones sensitive to according to the trichromatic theory?For visual processing on the retina, trichromatic theory applies: the cones are responsive to three different wavelengths that represent red, blue, and green.
Are the receptor cells in the retina that we use for color vision?So, the cones are used for color vision and are better suited for detecting fine details. There are about 6 million cones in the human retina.
