  2. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    Color perception mechanisms are highly dependent on evolutionary factors, of which the most prominent is thought to be satisfactory recognition of food sources. In herbivorous primates, color perception is essential for finding proper (immature) leaves.

  3. Tetrachromacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrachromacy

    The four pigments in a bird's cone cells (in this example, estrildid finches) extend the range of color vision into the ultraviolet. [1]Tetrachromacy (from Greek tetra, meaning "four" and chroma, meaning "color") is the condition of possessing four independent channels for conveying color information, or possessing four types of cone cell in the eye.

  4. Color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    Color (or colour in Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra, and interference.

  5. Color appearance model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_appearance_model

    A uniform color space (UCS) is a color model that seeks to make the color-making attributes perceptually uniform, i.e. identical spatial distance between two colors equals identical amount of perceived color difference. A CAM under a fixed viewing condition results in a UCS; a UCS with a modeling of variable viewing conditions results in a CAM.

  6. Color psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology

    Color meaning is either based in learned meaning or biologically innate meaning. The perception of a color causes evaluation automatically by the person perceiving. The evaluation process forces color-motivated behavior. Color usually exerts its influence automatically. Color meaning and effect has to do with context as well. [12]

  7. Color constancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_constancy

    Color constancy is an example of subjective constancy and a feature of the human color perception system which ensures that the perceived color of objects remains relatively constant under varying illumination conditions. A green apple for instance looks green to us at midday, when the main illumination is white sunlight, and also at sunset ...

  8. Chromesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromesthesia

    Chromesthesia or sound-to-color synesthesia is a type of synesthesia in which sound involuntarily evokes an experience of color, shape, and movement. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Individuals with sound-color synesthesia are consciously aware of their synesthetic color associations/ perceptions in daily life. [ 3 ]

  9. Evolution of color vision in primates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_color_vision...

    While color vision is dependent on many factors, discussion of the evolution of color vision is typically simplified to two factors: the breadth of the visible spectrum (which wavelengths of light can be detected), and; the dimensionality of the color gamut (e.g. dichromacy vs. tetrachromacy).
