How Do We See Color?

Have you ever wondered how your eyes see all those colors? Well, to start, humans have three different types of color receptors in our eyes. Can you guess what they are?

Would be so cool to see the world with more receptors

Which makes since because at night if it's dark enough, you mostly or mainly see everything grey.

Idk why but that 2nd "ultra marine!" & gasp are cute as hell

So if a planet had no sun (no way of receiving light), and say a robot ( That can see in the dark and also colours at the same time) looked upon that planet, what colours would they see?

[gianellaiturrizaga]

so is the world really black and white and gray or colorless but we just see it in colors?

If the red bounces off the apple isn't it actually every color except that one? All the other wavelengths go in it, that one is blocked and isn't part of the apple. That is then what we see but it's not what the apple actually is.

So it's true that there are colors humans can't see let alone fathom?

[AltairDhauglu]

If we (And the tools we use) catch the wavelengths the sun radiates on us, are there more wavelengths we don't catch because our sun don't produce them?

[fridaandersson]

what is the science behind being colorblind? are these people missing a type of receptor?

[michellem]

i notice you put 4 receptors in the eye, some females can have extra, rarely in men.

[joshrey]

So, dogs have less than 1 color receptor? Is that why they can't see color?

[likahmac]

So what's the actual color of a apple?

[ziliath]

What is the color of an object in the absence of light? (i don't think its "black")

Is the apple still red because of its "Light scattering potential" or is it only read when light is bouncing off it, and if so what color does it become when light isn't.

and.. thinking about it this way... has any object really "got color" or is it just an illusion like certain insects scales or can we call color not an intrinsic property of an object but rather "A mechanistic interactive system" because color only seems to exist when there is an observer....

is an apple red when there are no observers...? you can call red a frequency of light, but thats not what we see...

just like Electromagnetism its Both the magnetic waves and the electric current, so.. why cant we differentiate the "observed effect" from the "mechanistic effect" ?

So the question then becomes, "what is color as an observed effect?" we already know what color is as a mechanistic effect.

purples not a colour its a trick of the mind.

I feel like you are too happy in this video. Scary.

[Rififi]

Can you start linking your sources or at least mention them. I have noticed far too many mistakes for a channel like this and I am wondering whether your sources are really that bad. Although admittedly most mistakes seem like mistakes you'd make if you just don't bother checking the video or even the script.

The color Magenta doesn't exists!
