Human color vision is produced by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact

Human color vision is €œproduced€ by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact with photons of light in the eye. These three different types of cones interact with photons of different frequency light, as indicated in the following chart:

What wavelength ranges (and corresponding colors) do the three types of cones detect?

Range of Light Frequency Detected 6.00-7.49 × 1014 s-1 4.76-6.62 x 1014 s-1 Cone Type 4.28-6.00 × 1014 s-1
