The color of an object depends on both the physics of the object in its environment and the characteristics of the what?
A: Perceiving eye and brain.

 Physically, objects can be said to have the color of the light leaving their surfaces, which normally depends on what?
A: The spectrum of the incident illumination and the reflectance properties of the surface, as well as potentially on the angles of illumination and viewing.

Some objects not only reflect light, but also what?
A: Transmit light or emit light themselves, which also contributes to the color.

Light arriving at an opaque surface is either reflected "specularly" (that is, in the manner of a mirror), scattered (that is, reflected with diffuse scattering), or what?
A: Absorbed – or some combination of these.

A: White.

A: black.

If objects scatter all wavelengths with roughly equal strength, they appear what?
A: White.

If they absorb all wavelengths, they appear what?
A: black.

A: Newton.

Humans are trichromatic—the retina contains how many types of color receptor cells, or cones?
A: Three.

 

One type, relatively distinct from the other two, is most responsive to light that is perceived as blue or blue-violet, with wavelengths around 450 nm; cones of this type are sometimes called what?
A: Short-wavelength cones, S cones, or blue cones.

 The other two types are closely related genetically and chemically: middle-wavelength cones, M cones, or green cones are most sensitive to light perceived as what?
A: Green, with wavelengths around 540 nm.

The long-wavelength cones, L cones, or red cones, are most sensitive to light is perceived as what?
A: Greenish yellow, with wavelengths around 570  nm.

Light, no matter how complex its composition of wavelengths, is reduced to how many color components by the eye?
A: Three.

Each cone type adheres to the principle of what?
A: Univariance, which is that each cone's output is determined by the amount of light that falls on it over all wavelengths.

For each location in the visual field, the three types of cones yield three signals based on what?
A: The extent to which each is stimulated.

These amounts of stimulation are sometimes called what?
A: Tristimulus values.

If one or more types of a person's color-sensing cones are missing or less responsive than normal to incoming light, that person can distinguish fewer colors and is said to be what?
A: Color deficient or color blind.

 

Almost all color deficient individuals can distinguish what?
A: At least some colors.

Some kinds of color deficiency are caused by anomalies in what?
A: The number or nature of cones in the retina.

Others (like central or cortical achromatopsia) are caused by what?
A: Neural anomalies in those parts of the brain where visual processing takes place.

While most humans are trichromatic (having three types of color receptors), many animals, known as tetrachromats, have how many?
A: Four types.

These include some species of spiders, most marsupials, birds, reptiles, and many species of what?
A: Fish.

Other species are sensitive to only two axes of color or do not perceive color at all; these are called what?
A: Dichromats and monochromats respectively.

As many as half of all women are retinal what?
A: Tetrachromats.

The phenomenon arises when an individual receives two slightly different copies of the gene for either the medium- or long-wavelength cones, which are carried on what?
A: The X chromosome.

To have two different genes, a person must have two X chromosomes, which is why the phenomenon only occurs in whom?
A: Women.
