  2. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    Thus color information is mostly taken in at the fovea. Humans have poor color perception in their peripheral vision, and much of the color we see in our periphery may be filled in by what our brains expect to be there on the basis of context and memories. However, our accuracy of color perception in the periphery increases with the size of ...

  3. Color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    Color (or colour in Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra, and interference.

  4. On Vision and Colours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Vision_and_Colours

    Before discussing color, there are some preliminary remarks to be made regarding vision. In § 1, it is shown that the perception of externally perceived objects in space is a product of the intellect's understanding after it has been stimulated by sensation from the sense organs.

  6. Color appearance model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_appearance_model

    A uniform color space (UCS) is a color model that seeks to make the color-making attributes perceptually uniform, i.e. identical spatial distance between two colors equals identical amount of perceived color difference. A CAM under a fixed viewing condition results in a UCS; a UCS with a modeling of variable viewing conditions results in a CAM.

  7. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment through photopic vision (daytime vision), color vision, scotopic vision (night vision), and mesopic vision (twilight vision), using light in the visible spectrum reflected by objects in the environment.

  8. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process

    Unique hues can differ between individuals and are often used in psychophysical research to measure variations in color perception due to color-vision deficiencies or color adaptation. [4] While there is considerable inter-subject variability when defining unique hues experimentally, [ 3 ] an individual's unique hues are very consistent, to ...

  9. Cone cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell

    The color yellow, for example, is perceived when the L cones are stimulated slightly more than the M cones, and the color red is perceived when the L cones are stimulated significantly more than the M cones. Similarly, blue and violet hues are perceived when the S receptor is stimulated more.
