  2. Scuppernong - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuppernong

    The scuppernong is a large variety of muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), [1] a species of grape native to the southern United States. It is usually a greenish or bronze color and is similar in appearance and texture to a white grape, but rounder and larger.

  3. Eye color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_color

    The irises of human eyes exhibit a wide spectrum of colours. Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic trait determined by two factors: the pigmentation of the eye's iris [1] [2] and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris. [3]: 9

  4. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    The RGB color model, therefore, is a convenient means for representing color but is not directly based on the types of cones in the human eye. The peak response of human cone cells varies, even among individuals with so-called normal color vision; [8] in some non-human species this polymorphic variation is even greater, and it may well be adaptive.

    With brown eyes taking an overwhelming lead, all of the other eye colors have lower percentages. According to WorldAtlas , 8-10 percent of the world's population have blue eyes.

    The human eye's red-to-green and blue-to-yellow values of each one-wavelength visible color [citation needed] Human color sensation is defined by the sensitivity curves (shown here normalized) of the three kinds of cone cells: respectively the short-, medium- and long-wavelength types.

    Human eyes have three types of cones: red-sensing, green-sensing and blue-sensing. Feline eyes also contain the same color-sensing cones as humans , but this doesn't mean our visions are the same ...

  8. Scotopic vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotopic_vision

    The normal human observer's relative wavelength sensitivity will not change due to background illumination under scotopic vision. The wavelength sensitivity is determined by the rhodopsin photopigment. This is a red pigment seen at the back of the eye in animals that have a white background to their eye called Tapetum lucidum.

  9. Melanopsin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanopsin

    Melanopsin is a type of photopigment belonging to a larger family of light-sensitive retinal proteins called opsins and encoded by the gene Opn4. [5] In the mammalian retina, there are two additional categories of opsins, both involved in the formation of visual images: rhodopsin and photopsin (types I, II, and III) in the rod and cone photoreceptor cells, respectively.
