What allows us to see colors?

We see colors thanks to specialized cells in our eyes called cones. Cones are sensitive to different wavelengths of light and allow us to perceive the different colors of the visible light spectrum. When light enters our eyes, it is processed by these cones and translated into the vibrant array of colors we see.


It is difficult to distinguish between colors at night because?

our eyes rely on rods, which are not as sensitive to different colors as cones are. In low light conditions, our eyes are not able to distinguish between colors as easily because rods are mostly responsible for black-and-white vision. Additionally, the lack of ambient light can make it challenging for our eyes to see subtle differences in color.
