In the peripheral view we see black and white better than in color. This has to do with the higher number of rods on the outer part of the retina than cones.

Does color effect peripheral vision?

Peripheral vision results from images near the edge of the retina. In this part of the eye, there are very few cones and almost all rods. Peripheral vision is essentially black and white and thus unaffected by color.

What animals see in black and white?

Most mammals, including dogs, cats, and cattle, see in black and white or limited color vision. This is because they have fewer color receptors (cones) in their eyes compared to humans. Color vision is more evolved in primates and some birds.


Which parts of the eye perceive peripheral and twilight vision?

Vision is sensed by rods and cones. Cones are more centrally located. The cones sense color. As you move outward from the cones there are an increasing number of rods with most at the perimeter (outside edge) of the field of vision. Rods only sense black and white, but are more sensitive to light than cones. So, the rods are the parts of the eye that perceives peripheral and low light. If in a dark room try looking at the corner of your eye to make thing out.


How doc the function of the rods and cones differ?

Rods can only see in black and white, aka low light conditions. They also provide us with our peripheral vision. Cones allow us to see colors and give us our daytime vision.
