There are four different types of cones

Rod, not cone, vision accounts for ourability to detect fine visual detail

Detailed explanation-1: -Hermann von Helmholtz developed the theory further in 1850: that the three types of cone photoreceptors could be classified as short-preferring (violet), middle-preferring (green), and long-preferring (red), according to their response to the wavelengths of light striking the retina.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Young-Helmholtz trichromatic colour theory proposes that colour perception is the result of the signals sent by the three types of cones, whereas the opponent-process colour theory proposes that we perceive colour as three sets of opponent colours: red-green, yellow-blue, and white-black.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the Young-Helmholtz theory of color vision, there are three perceiving elements in the retina: red, green, and blue.
Detailed explanation-4: -the theory that the eye contains three different groups of retinal fibers (cones) with maximum response to three primary colors – red-yellow, green, and blue-violet – which are parts of the spectrum.
Detailed explanation-5: -The trichromatic theory states that three different types of cones in the eye (red, green, and blue) are responsible for converting light into electrical signals.
