How we see colour

We see colour with sensors in retina of the eye called rods and cones. The rods are sensitive to low light and the cones which require a greater intensity of light, are sensitive to colour. Each cone contains one of the 3 pigments sensitive to either RED BLUE or GREEN. The message is passed to the optic nerve and then onto the brain.
