	Evaluation of a New Color Vision Test
		A battery of color vision tests including the Ishihara, Panel D-15, and the anomaloscope were used for the diagnosis and classification of color deficiency.
		The frequency of individuals identified as color deficient (7.5% of the males and 0.6% of the females) was similar to that expected in the general population.
		The results showed that the test was useful in screening this population for color vision deficiencies, and that the prevalence of color vision deficiencies was similar to the prevalence found in the general population.

	What is Color?
		The opposition of these colors forms the basis of color vision.
		For example, contrasting colors are diametrically opposite on the color circle.
		The artistic term “hue” is the edges of the square (the outside of Hering’s circle); “saturation” represents where the color is placed between grey middle and the colored edge; “value,” also called “brightness” or “luminance,” is the intensity of the color and is the third attribute.

	The Evolution of Color Vision
		As this is grist for the evolution of color vision mill, we're literally ripe for the addition of a fourth cone class.
		The color vision of primates is not strictly homologous to the color vision of fish, birds, turtles, etc. Much of the machinery used for primate color vision arose independently long after similar systems developed (without being lost) in other vertebrate lineages.
		Color vision is mediated by cones, so named because of the shape of the receptive part of the cells.

		Color and all vision are in a sense illusory depending only on messages that pass between millions of neurons that reside within the darkness of our skull.
		The Opponent Color Theory of the 19th century physiologist Ewald Hering (Hering, 1964; Hurvich, 1981) derived by the analysis of subjective human color vision is in general correct, although the idea of opponent colors was described earlier by Goethe and Schoepenhauer.
		Knowledge of the physiology of color vision beyond striate cortex is sketchy because of the difficulty in exciting cortical cells in anesthetized monkeys.

	Color Vision Deficiency - healthinfochannel
		Color vision deficiency results from a malfunction or absence of cone cells in the retina.
		In normal color perception, all three populations of cones are present (trichromacy) and function normally.
		People who perceive colors normally are known as trichromats, because they are using three populations of cones, one sensitive to red, one to blue, and one to green, to match any color in the environment.

	How color vision works
		This simple hypothesis, however, is in conflict with the fact that the color that we perceive of an object is influenced by the color of the background, a phenomenon that is called simultaneous color contrast.
		Defective color vision is a surprisingly common disase: about 8 % of all males and 0.5 % of all females are affected.
		This type of color vision deficiency is inherited and is caused by mutations in the genes encoding the visual pigments of red sensitive L-cones (L-pigment) or green sensitive M-cones (M-pigment).

	Color Vision 1 - photo.net
		Some people have a visual anomaly referred to as color blindness and have trouble distinguishing between certain colors.
		Red-green color blindness could occur if the Rho and Gamma sensor curves exactly overlapped or if there were an insufficient number of either rho or gamma sensors.
		Since rods all seem to share the same spectral selectivity characteristics, they cannot create a color image so one color of moonlight is probably as good as the next.

	Firelily Designs - Color Vision, Color Deficiency
		The subject of color usage on the web comes up once in a while, so I thought it might be useful to pull together some basic issues for people who might be interested in color.
		Color is another perceptual value; there is nothing about light at a wavelength of 700 nanometers that makes it red.
		Color on color may seem (relatively) safe if you understand color deficiency, but there is one more catch.

	Color & Vision
		The color content of the light source is usually described in terms of the temperature of an incandescent emitter which produces a color spectrum closest in color to that source.
		The color we perceive an object to be is determined by which wavelengths of light are absorbed or reflected by the object.
		To make the eye "see" any color of the spectrum it is only necessary to stimulate the three types of cones in a manner similar to the way the actual color would.

	Color vision - Psychology Wiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Color vision is the capacity of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect or emit.
		Color perception mechanisms are highly dependent on evolutionary factors, of which the most prominent is thought to be satisfactory recognition of food sources.
		Incidentally, the CIE chromaticity diagram is horseshoe-shaped, with its curved edge corresponding to all spectral colors, and the remaining straight edge corresponding to the "purples" -- various mixtures of the red and violet that appear at the extremes of the spectrum.

	Color vision - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Color vision is the capacity of an organism or machine to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect or emit.
		The advantage of color, which is a quality constructed by the visual brain and not a property of objects as such, is the better discrimination of surfaces allowed by this aspect of visual processing.
		Color perception mechanisms are highly dependent on evolutionary factors, of which the most prominent is thought to be satisfactory recognition of food sources.

	Color Vision Confusion
		Color blindness is mostly inherited, or it may be acquired as a result of some illness, such as head trauma, or treatment.
		The International Colour Vision Society is an international group of physiologists, psychologists, physicists, geneticists, optometrists, ophthalmologists and others who have a research interest in the many aspects of color vision and color vision deficiencies [22].
		Color vision confusion or color blindness as it is usually known is a common impairment, affecting approximately eight percent of males and two percent of females.

	Color Vision of Birds
		The fundamental principle that is involved in color matches is that two physically different lights (i.e., 600 nm monochromatic light [orange] and an appropriate mixture of 640 and 580 nm lights [red and yellow] in the example of figure 5.4) are able to excite the population of retinal cones in an identical manner.
		Birds may have a generalized system of color vision, but individual species may also have features of their eyes adapted to specific visual tasks or conditions, and attention to this ecological dimension in formulating hypotheses about visual function is likely to be critical.
		The tetra- or pentachromatic color space of birds appears to be the most complex in nature and is likely involved in virtually all areas of the animals' lives, from the discrimination and recognition of objects to more complex behavioral tasks such as navigation, the classification of objects, and social and sexual behavior.

	Color vision deficiency - Genetics Home Reference
		Color vision deficiencies are a group of conditions that affect the perception of color.
		Mutations in the CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, OPN1LW, OPN1MW, and OPN1SW genes cause color vision deficiency.
		Blue-yellow color vision defects are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered OPN1SW gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition.

	The Equine Color Vision Debate
		Yet the anatomy of the equine eye suggests that some color perception is possible, and in the last 25 years, a few behavioral studies have attempted to test color recognition in horses.
		Using color as the distinguishing characteristic to mark the rewarded choice, some studies determined that shades of red are visible to horses, while others found that blue, not red, is a recognizable color.
		Color vision is not required for either successful foraging or reproduction, so it's not an essential survival tool for horses as it is for some other species.

	Neuroscience for Kids - Color Vision
		Color vision is not only a pleasurable experience, it also helps us locate and identify objects in the visual scene that would be hard to pick out in shades of gray.
		That is, the color is encoded in the pattern of activity of a number of cells rather than in the isolated activity of one cell.
		In a further apparent exception to the color constancy rule, a set of objects reflecting identical wavelengths from their surfaces (for example, red light-they should all look red) can appear to be completely different colors if set against different backgrounds, or when using different ambient lighting conditions.

		The premise that millions of distinct colors can arise from the stimulation of three different color receptors is called the three color or trichromatic theory of color vision, first proposed in the 18th century.
		This is the most general chromatic contrast in color perception, and it appears to have a strong influence on the development and use of color terms in almost all languages.
		Color for Science, Art and Technology edited by Kurt Nassau (North Holland: 1997) is a miscellany of rather unusual chapters on color, such as "The Fifteen Causes of Color", "Color in Abstract Painting", "Organic and Inorganic Pigments", and "The Biological and Therapeutic Effects of Light".
