Detailed explanation-1: -A special property of the cone system is color vision. Perceiving color allows humans (and many other animals) to discriminate objects on the basis of the distribution of the wavelengths of light that they reflect to the eye.
Detailed explanation-2: -Light travels into the eye to the retina located on the back of the eye. The retina is covered with millions of light sensitive cells called rods and cones. When these cells detect light, they send signals to the brain. Cone cells help detect colors.
Detailed explanation-3: -When these cells detect light, they send signals to the brain. Most people have three kinds of cone cells, and every color stimulates more than one cone. Their combined response produces a unique signal for each color, and millions of different colors can be distinguished this way.
