The two kinds of receptor in the eye are rods and cones. Rods only see in black and white but are very light sensitive (that's why you see in black and white when it is almost dark) and cones which allow you to see in colour.
Rods and cones are things in your eye that help you to see black and white. Rods are more sensitive than cones. They're what makes optical illusions possible for our eyes along with perception. Rods are sensitive to only the brigtness of the light, and allow us to see in black and white. Cones provide color vision.
Many animals can see colors. Some examples include birds, primates, and insects. These animals have the necessary specialized cells in their eyes, such as cones, that allow them to perceive a wide range of colors.
Rods and cones are photoreceptors in the eye that allow people to see. Rods allow people to see colors, while cones allow people to see in low light, and in great detail.
Cones are sensitive to Red light (L cones, 64%) Green light (M cones, 32%) and Blue light (S cones, 2%)
When all three classes of cones (red, green, and blue) are equally stimulated, the brain processes the information and we perceive the color white. This is because white light contains a mixture of all visible wavelengths, which stimulates all three classes of cones simultaneously.
The cones in our eyes break down color into we call the three primary colors. In this way of seeing color each color is composed of a different ratio of these primary colors. The color display in computers works in a similar way. Every color assigns a different value to each the primary colors ranging from 0 to 255. You may try this out by opening a program that lets you select custom colors such as paint or photoshop.
cones and rods make up your eyes. cones allow you to see colors, while rods allow you to see black and white. there are no cones in the spot where you have peripheral vision.
The color perceived when all three cone populations (red, green, blue) are stimulated equally is white. This is because our brain interprets a balanced input from all three cone types as a combination of all visible colors, resulting in white light.
I do not remember the exact science of it, but it has to do with the photo receptors in your eyes. There are two kinds of receptors in your eyes: cones which focus on color and rods, which focus on light. There are 3 kinds of cones: those that see blue, green or red (i.e. short wavelengths, medium and long.) When more than one wavelength reaches the cones (say a medium one (green) and a long one (red)) then the cones that receive these two wavelengths (i.e. the red and the green cones) cancel each other out and the Blue receptor is stimulated instead.The blue cone can see either blue or yellow. If it receives a short wave, it sees blue, but if the green and red cones are stimulated at the same time (remember they cancel each other out), then the blue cone is stimulated to see YELLOW.
We see the color yellow when light enters our eyes and stimulates special cells called cones in the retina. These cones are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, and when they are stimulated by light with a wavelength around 570-590 nanometers, we perceive the color yellow.
The retina has two kinds of photoreceptors: rods and cones. The rods help you see black-and-white movies, while the cones help you see in color. If you had neither one or lost both you wouldn't be able to see in black-and-white, color, or you would be blind.

the cones which sence colour are concentrated near the center of the retina. when looking straight at an object it maxmizes the number of cones being stimulated. Alice rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The part of the eye which enables us to see colour are the millions of cones. Rods, on the other hand, enable night vision, but can only help one see black, white and shades of grey.
The human eye contains cells called cones that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. When light enters the eye, these cones send signals to the brain, which then interprets the information to create our perception of different colors.
