  2. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    Underwater vision is the ability to see objects underwater, and this is significantly affected by several factors. Underwater, objects are less visible because of lower levels of natural illumination caused by rapid attenuation of light with distance passed through the water. They are also blurred by scattering of light between the object and ...

    Thus, while the color of the after-image produced by looking at a green surface that is reflecting more "green" (middle-wave) than "red" (long-wave) light is magenta, so is the after–image of the same surface when it reflects more "red" than "green" light (when it is still perceived as green).

  4. Tetrachromacy - Wikipedia

    Thus, the cells are coding complementary colors instead of opponent colors. Pridmore reported also of green–magenta cells in the retina and V1.

    Amongst jawless fish, the lamprey has well-developed eyes, while the hagfish has only primitive eyespots. [6] Fish vision shows adaptation to their visual environment, for example deep sea fishes have eyes suited to the dark environment. Fish and other aquatic animals live in a different light environment than terrestrial species.

  9. Color psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology

    Multiple researchers propose that one factor in the evolution of primate trichromatic color vision is to allow for better perception of the emotions or condition of others that can prove highly useful for complex social interaction. [16] For example, flushed or pale skin can non-verbally communicate whether one is excited or sickly.
