The eye perceives black and white primarily through specialized photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones. Rods are highly sensitive to light and allow us to see in low-light conditions, detecting shades of gray, while cones are responsible for color vision. In dim lighting, rods dominate our vision, enabling us to see in black and white, while cones are less effective, leading to a reduced ability to perceive color. This combination allows us to differentiate between light intensities, resulting in the perception of black, white, and various shades of gray.
