Chromatic adaptation is the visual system's ability to adjust to changes in lighting conditions, allowing us to perceive colors consistently despite variations in illumination. This process involves the brain's interpretation of color information from the surrounding environment, often relying on the relative colors and brightness of nearby objects. Specialized photoreceptors in the eyes, particularly cones, help detect these changes, enabling the visual system to recalibrate and maintain color constancy. As a result, an object appears the same color under different lighting conditions, despite the spectral composition of the light.
