A cone cell has a pigment called iodopsin. There are three different types of these pigments that are sensitive to red, blue or green wave lengths of light in the cone cells.
Red cones have the iodopsin pigment that is sensitive to red color.
Blue cones have the iodopsin pigment that is sensitive to blue color.
Green cones have the iodopsin pigment that is sensitive to green color.
Colors can be detected when light stimulates different combinations of iodopsins. For example, orange light is the result of red and green cones being stimulated.
