Compare and contrast the trichromatic and opponent-process theories of color vision
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?The trichromatic theory is the idea that color vision is made possible by the presence of three different types of cones in the retina that react respectively to red, green, or blue light. The opponent process theory refers to the idea that we have dual-action cells beyond the level of the retina that signal the brain when we see one of a pair of colors.
