Why do we see color?

We see colours because our eyes have in their retina three sorts of light sensitive cells called "cone cells". Some of these are sensitive to Red light. some are sensitive to Green light and some are sensitive to Blue light. There are also cells called "rods" which just detect the presence of light (not in colour)

Our brains interpret the combined signals from the Cone Cells as the colours of the spectrum.
