The three sets of color receptors within the retina are known as cone cells, which are sensitive to different ranges of wavelengths corresponding to short, medium, and long wavelengths of light. These correspond to the colors blue (short wavelengths), green (medium wavelengths), and red (long wavelengths). Together, these cone types allow for the perception of a wide spectrum of colors through a process called trichromatic vision. The combination of signals from these cones enables the brain to interpret and differentiate various colors in the visual environment.
What else can I help you with?
What is the trichromatic theory?
Do you mean the Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic Theory of Color? If this is what you meant this theory states that the retina contains three different color receptors, red, green, and blue, which when stimulated in combination produce color.

What is the sensory receptors that can perceive color?
Cone cells in the retina of the eye detect color. There are three types of cone cells. Two of them detect light of different wavelengths, one medium and the other long. And the third detects the overall intensity of the light source. Your brain uses this information to interpret the combination of those three receptors to give you the sensation that you percieve different colors.
Why do humans see different colors?
You have receptors for three primary colours in your retina. You can perceive the thousands of colours due to stimulation of the these receptors at different intensity in various permutations and combinations.
What parts of the eye are used to see colour?
The cones in the retina of the eye are responsible for detecting and perceiving color. There are three types of cones that respond to different wavelengths of light (red, green, and blue), and the brain processes the signals from these cones to create the perception of color.
Where is the exact location of the cones in the retina?
The cones are the sensory receptors responsible for picking up light of different wavelengths and therefore colours. These are concentrated in an area of the retina called the macular lutea in particular in a pit called the fovea.
Why is pure orange a mixture?
The color that we perceive as orange is produced by a mixture of yellow and red. They human eye only perceives three colors, red, yellow, and blue, and all other colors are some form of mixture of those (along with our black and white perception which has its own receptors in the retina).
What part of the eye responds to light of different color producing color vision?
The cones in the retina are responsible for color vision. There are three types of cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light (red, green, and blue), which combine to allow us to see a wide range of colors.
What is trichromatic. And are humans trichromatic?
The trichromatic theory of color vision is based on the premise that there are three classes of cone receptors subserving color vision. And usually, humans are trichromatic.
Why can you see the color orange?
The human eye has three kinds of color receptors, which perceive red, yellow, and blue wavelengths of light. If you perceive red and yellow simultaneously, that is interpreted as orange.
How many types of cone receptors are there?
There are three types of cone receptors in the human eye: short-wavelength cones (S-cones), medium-wavelength cones (M-cones), and long-wavelength cones (L-cones). These cone receptors are responsible for color vision and the perception of different wavelengths of light.
What is Helmholtz's explanation of color vision is called.?
Helmholtz's explanation of color vision is called the trichromatic theory. It states that the human eye has three types of color receptors, which are sensitive to red, green, and blue light. All colors we see are a combination of these three primary colors.
