Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trichromatic theory of color vision proposes that the retina has three types of color receptors, known as cones, each of which responds to different wavelengths of light. The three types of cones are most sensitive to long (red), medium (green), and short (blue) wavelengths of light. This theory explains how we are able to perceive a wide range of colors by combining these three primary colors in different ways.
