  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. Ishihara test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishihara_Test

    Research has shown that scores below twelve indicate color vision deficiency, and twelve or more correct indicate normal color vision, with 97% sensitivity and 100% specificity. The sensitivity of the Ishihara test varies by the number of plates allowed to pass, which can vary by institutional policy.

  4. Opponent-process theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent-process_theory

    The colors in each pair oppose each other. Red-green receptors cannot send messages about both colors at the same time. This theory also explains negative afterimages; once a stimulus of a certain color is presented, the opponent color is perceived after the stimulus is removed because the anabolic and catabolic processes are reversed. For ...

    By using color psychology to cause immersion in players, players can have fewer errors playing video games in comparison to a game that does not utilize color psychology immersion.

    The second is when a pair of lights of the same color but differing in brightness by 50% is displayed, the brighter identical color is said to be "white". For example, green(dim)-green(bright) is called "green-white". Dichromats, by definition, cannot distinguish any of the colors, and only make correct answers by random guessing. [citation needed]

  7. 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.

  8. Opponent process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opponent_process

    Hue cancellation experiments start with a color (e.g. yellow) and attempt to determine how much of the opponent color (e.g. blue) of one of the starting color's components must be added to reach the neutral point. [12] [13] In 1959, Gunnar Svaetichin and MacNichol [14] recorded from the retinae of fish and reported of three distinct types of cells:

  9. Color vision test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision_test

    An Ishihara test image as seen by subjects with normal color vision and by those with a variety of color deficiencies. A pseudoisochromatic plate (from Greek pseudo, meaning "false", iso, meaning "same" and chromo, meaning "color"), often abbreviated as PIP, is a style of standard exemplified by the Ishihara test, generally used for screening of color vision defects.
