Trichromatic Theory
The idea that three types of cone receptor cells in the retina are responsible for color perception. Each type responds optimally to different, but overlapping, ranges of wavelengths.
L Cones
Photoreceptor cells in the retina that are sensitive to long wavelengths of light, contributing to color vision, particularly red colors.
M Cones
Photoreceptor cells in the retina specialized for medium-wavelength light, contributing to color vision and perception of green hues.
S Cones
A type of photoreceptor in the eye that is sensitive to short wavelength light, contributing to color vision.
