Colour vision in human eyes is the function of photoreceptor cells named Cones. The retina contains two main types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones.
Rods are highly sensitive to light intensity and are responsible for vision in dim light conditions (scotopic vision). They are monochromatic, meaning they do not contribute to color perception. Cones are less sensitive to light but are responsible for detailed vision and color perception in bright light conditions (photopic vision). Humans typically have three types of cones, each sensitive to different ranges of wavelengths of light (corresponding roughly to red, green, and blue colors).
