There are several types of cone photoreceptors in the eye. Normally there are three different cones in the eye referred to as blue cones, red cones, and green cones. They work with the nervous system to compare the responses to the light coming in. The receptors can analyze the spectrum from 380 to740nm. So, color vision is the capacity of your eye to distinguish the color based on the wavelengths they emit, reflect, or transmit. Color blindness occurs when certain cones misinterpret the wavelengths that come from the many different colors. Red wavelengths are longest, green colors are medium length, and blue are shorter wavelengths.
