  2. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    The spectrum does not contain all the colors that the human visual system can distinguish. Unsaturated colors such as pink, or purple variations like magenta, for example, are absent because they can only be made from a mix of multiple wavelengths. Colors containing only one wavelength are also called pure colors or spectral colors. [8] [9]

  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.

    While the spectrum of eye colors is as vast as the human experience itself, one of them is the rarest eye color in the world that only a small percentage of the population possess.

  6. Visual perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_perception

    Visual perception is the ability to interpret the surrounding environment through photopic vision (daytime vision), color vision, scotopic vision (night vision), and mesopic vision (twilight vision), using light in the visible spectrum reflected by objects in the environment.

  7. Impossible color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_color

    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.

  8. Trichromacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichromacy

    Close-up of a trichromatic in-line shadow mask CRT display, which creates most visible colors through combinations and different levels of the three primary colors: red, green and blue Trichromacy or trichromatism is the possession of three independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the three different types of cone ...

  9. How Rare Are Hazel Eyes, Exactly? - AOL

    www.aol.com/rare-hazel-eyes-exactly-100600193.html

    The moderate melanin content in hazel eyes allows for some scattering of light within the iris, resulting in its beautiful color spectrum. Hazel eyes also vary in their color combinations.
