for someone with full color vision, three (often refered to as short, medium and long). Each one is maximally sensitive to a different wavelength. These are found in the cones. People with color deficits have only two pigments, which is why they have difficulty coding for some parts of the visual spectrum, such as yellow/blue, or much more rarely, red/green. Someone with true colorblindness has only rods, so they only have one visual pigment molocule, and can't code for color at all.
