"Color vision, a feature of visual perception, is an ability to perceive differences between light composed of different frequencies independently of light intensity."
Color perception refers to the psychological and physiological processes involved in the interpretation of different wavelengths of light as distinct colors.
Color vision basics: This topic covers the rudiments of what color is, how it is perceived and how it affects people.
The color wheel: The study of the color wheel includes the different color schemes and how they mix and relate to each other.
Color psychology: This involves the influence of color on mood, behavior and emotions of people.
Physiology of color perception: The physical and neural processes that enable the perception of color.
Color blindness: A relatively common deficiency in color vision.
Theories of color perception: The various theories and models of color perception.
Color processing in the brain: How color is processed and represented in the brain.
Color contrast: The appearance of colors with respect to their surroundings.
Color constancy: How our brains maintain a stable perception of color despite changes in lighting.
Color illusions: How our brains can be tricked by visual stimuli.
Color naming and categorization: The ways in which we classify colors into categories and label them.
Cross-cultural differences in color perception: Color perception as it varies across different cultures.
Color-related disorders and diseases: Disorders and diseases that affect the perception of color.
Evolutionary origins of color vision: How color vision has evolved over time and its adaptive benefits.
Color in art and design: The use of color in art and design, and the cultural and psychological associations that colors can carry.
Trichromatic: The ability to perceive three primary colors (red, blue, and green).
Dichromatic: The ability to perceive only two primary colors, either red-green or blue-yellow.
Monochromatic: The inability to perceive any color at all, seeing only lightness or shade.
Achromatopsia: The total inability to perceive any colors, seeing only shades of gray.
Tetrachromatic: The ability to perceive four or more primary colors due to having an extra cone cell.
Protanopia: A type of color blindness in which the person cannot recognize red.
Deuteranopia: A type of color blindness in which the person cannot recognize green.
Tritanopia: A type of color blindness in which the person cannot recognize blue.
Color agnosia: A condition where a person cannot recognize colors and their name, despite having normal vision.
Color constancy: The ability to recognize colors regardless of changes in lighting, surroundings, or other factors.
Color adaptation: A process by which the eyes become less sensitive to a color over time, adjusting to the surrounding environment.
Color afterimage: An impression of a color that remains after looking away from a brightly colored object.
Synesthesia: A condition where the senses are crossed, leading to the perceptual experience of seeing colors when listening to music or hearing sounds.
"Color perception is a part of the larger visual system and is mediated by a complex process between neurons that begins with differential stimulation of different types of photoreceptors by light entering the eye."
"Those photoreceptors then emit outputs that are propagated through many layers of neurons and then ultimately to the brain."
"Color vision is found in many animals and is mediated by similar underlying mechanisms with common types of biological molecules."
"Color vision [...] has a complex history of evolution in different animal taxa."
"In primates, color vision may have evolved under selective pressure for a variety of visual tasks including the foraging for nutritious young leaves, ripe fruit, and flowers, as well as detecting predator camouflage and emotional states in other primates."
