Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trichromatic theory of color vision suggests that the retina contains three types of cells, each responding to a different color - red, green, or blue. These cells then work together to produce all the colors we perceive. This theory has been supported by research into the anatomy and function of the retina. The other options, such as afterimage, opponent-process, and dark adaptation, refer to different aspects of visual processing beyond the retina.
