Colour vision is the ability of the eye to
discriminate between colours excited by lights
of different wavelengths.
Colour Vision - Function of cones
Colour - Perceptual phenomenon
- Spectral composition of light from
the object and visual surroundings
also matter.
![Page 3: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Sensation of colour is a subjective phenomenon i.e Taught since childhood
All colours are a result of admixture of Primary colours in different proportions-
Red ( 723-647)
Green ( 575-492)
Blue ( 492-450)
For any colour there is a complementary colour
- when both mixed properly produce a sensation of white

1.Trichromatic Theory
• It postulates the existence of three kinds of cones
- Each containing different photopigment
- Each sensitive maximally to one of three primary
colours ( Red, Green , Blue )
-Any given colour’s sensation is due to relative
frequency of impulse from each of three cone
system

1. Red sensitive cone pigment/erythrolabe/LWS
- Absorbs light maximally in yellow position (peak at 564 nm)
- Its spectrum extends to long wavelength to sense
Red
2. Green Sensitive Cone pigment/chlorolabe/MWS
- Absorbs light maximally in green portion ( peak at
534 nm )
3. Blue sensitive cone pigment/cyanolabe/SWS
-Absorbs maximally in Blue-violet portion with a peak at
420nm

• Postulated by Ewald Hering
• Some colours are mutually exclusive
• The cone photoreceptors are linked together to form
three opposing colour pairs: blue/yellow, red/green,
and black/white
• Activation of one member of the pair
inhibits activity in the other
• No two members of a pair can be seen at the same
location to be stimulated
• Never "bluish yellow" or "reddish green“colour
experienced
![Page 9: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Cone pigment = 11 cis-retinal + opsin part
• 11 cis-retinal part is similar to rhodopsin
• Priciples of photochemistry of rhodopsin can
be applied to cone pigments
• Difference being that three cone pigments
are bleached by light of different wavelength.
![Page 10: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Opsins of green and red sensitive cone
pigments show 96% homology ( amino
acid sequence )
Both show 43% homology with blue
pigment
All three i.e Red,Green,Blue show 41%
homology with rod pigment rhodopsin.
![Page 11: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Photochemical changes
Biochemical changes
Visual signal
( Cone Receptor potential )
Action potential generated is transmitted as electronic conduction to other cells of retina.
![Page 12: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
A slow graded potential is recorded in these cells
Increase in amplitude of response with increasing
luminosity is also recorded
These cells show two different response
1. Luminosity response:- Hyperpolarizing response with
a broad spectral function
2. Chromatic response:-Hyperpolarizing for a part of a
spectrum and Depolarizing for the remaining part of
spectrum
This represents first stage in visual system where
chromatic interaction’s evidence is noted.
![Page 13: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Shows Centre-Surround spatial pattern
Red light striking in centre caused hyperpolarisation and green light in surroundings caused depolarisation.
Amacrine cellsAutomatic colour control
![Page 14: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There are three distinct groups of ganglion cells:-
1.W
2.X
3.Y
Colour sensation is mediated by ‘X’ type
A single ganglion cell may be stimulated by a number
of cones
When all three types of cones stimulate same
ganglion the resultant signal is White.
![Page 15: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Two type of colour opponent system is found in
ganglion cells:
1. Opponent colour cell system
Some ganglion cells are excited by one colour type
cone and inhibited by other
Two types of colour opponent ganglion cells:-
1.Red – green opponent colour cells use signals from
red and green cones to detect red/green contrast.
2.Blue – yellow opponent colour cells obtain yellow
signal from summated output of red and green cones
which is contrasted with output from blue cones.
![Page 16: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This system is concerned in successive colour system
(Phenomenon of coloured after images )
Example:-when one sees at green spot for several
seconds , then looks at grey card , one
sees a red spot on the card
![Page 18: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. Double opponent colour cell system
These ganglion cells have opponent for both colour
and space.
Example:- Response may be ‘on’ to red in centre and
‘off’ to it in surround, while ‘off’ to green in centre
and ‘on’ to it in surround.
![Page 19: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
This system is concerned with ‘Simultaneous colour
contrast’ – Phenomenon of perception of a particular
coloured spot against coloured background ( grey
spot appear greenish in red surround and reddish in
green surround ).
![Page 20: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Trichromatic vision extends 20 to 30 degrees from point of
fixation.
Peripheral to this red and green become indistinguishable.
In far periphery all colour sense is lost.
Very centre of fovea (1/8 degree) is blue blind.
![Page 21: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
All LGB neurons carry information from more than one cone
cell.
Colour information is transmitted from ganglion cells to
parvocellular portion of LGB.
Two type of LGB neurons:-
1. Nonopponent cells ( 30% of total LGB neurons )
Give same response to any monochromatic light
2. Opponent cells ( 60% of total LGB neurons )
Excited by some wavelengths and inhibited by others
![Page 22: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1. +R/-G :- Red and green antagonism
2. +G/-R :- Red and green antagonism
3. +B/-Y :- Blue and yellow antagonism
4. +Y/-B :- Blue and yellow anatgonism
![Page 23: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Colour Signal from parvocellular portion
Layer 4c of striate cortex ( area 17 )
Blobs in layers 2 and 3
( blobs have centre surround cells)
Visual association area
Lingual and fusiform gyri of
occipital lobe
![Page 24: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Color coded cells are arranged in a hierarchy.
Opponent color cells are found among ganglion cells of retina
and LGB.
Double opponent cells are found in layer 4 of striate
cortex(area 17)
![Page 25: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hue
Identification of colour,dominant spectral colour is determined
by the wavelength of particular colour
Brightness
Intensity of colour,it depends on the luminosity
of the component wavelength.
In photoptic vision-peak luminosity function at approximately
555 nm and in scotopic vision at about 507 nm.
The Wavelength shift of maximum luminosity from photopic to
scotopic viewing is called Purkinje Shift Phenomenon’
![Page 26: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Saturation
It refers to degree of freedom to dilution with white.
It can be estimated by measuring how much of a
particular wavelength must be added to white before
it is distinguishable from white.
![Page 28: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
It describes what mixtures of wavelength can be substituted
for each other without changing the colour.
![Page 29: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
A colour triangle can be drawn to describe
trichromacy of colour mixture.
Three axis are scaled to represent various amounts of
pigment absorption by each of the three cone
pigments.
A particular colour is represented by a line or a
vector.
Length of line identifies brightness.
Angle or direction of line represents hue.
All colours seen by human eye fall inside the colour
triangle.
![Page 30: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
1. CIE (Commission Internal de Eclairage)
CIE colour space system is based on amounts of three
primary colours necessary to match a specified colour.
CIE chromaticity diagram is constructed by placing the
three reference wavelengths say 450 at X , 520 at Y and
650 at Z of the triangle.

*2.The Munsell colour system
All the colours are represented in a cylinderin terms
of hue and chroma.
Hue dimension i.e dominant spectral colour is
located on circumference of the cylinder.
Value dimension i.e lightness is indicated by moving
up or down the cylinder

*Colour blindness is also called “Daltonism”
*Defective perception of colour -anomalous
* Absence of colour perception is anopia
*It may be-
*Congenital
*Acquired

1.Monochromacy /Total colour blindness
When two or all 3 cone pigments are missing.
Types:-
1.Rod monochromacy
2.Cone monochromacy
2.Dichromacy - When one of the 3 colour pigment is
absent
Protanopia - RED retinal photoreceptors absent
Deuteranopia -GREEN retinal photoreceptors absent.
Tritanopia -BLUE retinal photoreceptors absent
![Page 58: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
3.TRICHROMACY [Anomalous Trichromacy]
Colour vision deficiency rather than loss
Protanomaly - RED colour deficiency [Hereditary,
Sex linked, Male1%, ]
Deuteranomaly - GREEN colour
deficiency[Hereditary, Sex linked, Male 5% ]
Tritanomaly - BLUE colour deficienc [ Rare,Not
hereditary ]
![Page 59: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
*Gene rhodopsin - chromosome 3.
Gene for blue sensitive cone - chromosome 7
The genes for red and green sensitive cones
are arranged in tandem array on the ‘q’ arm of
x chromosome so defect is inherited as x-
linked recessive
Tritanopia is inherited as an autosomal
dominant defect
![Page 60: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Congenital colour blindness is two type
Achromatopsia
Dyschromatopsia
More common in male (3-4%)than female(0.4%)
It is x-linked recessive inherited condition.
![Page 61: Colour vision](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042701/55a7472c1a28ab3f518b477c/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Cone monochromatism:
Presence of only one primary colour
So person is truely colour blind
Rod monochromatism:
Complete or incomplete
Inherited as autosomal recessive trait
Total colour blindness
Day blindness(visual acquity is about 6/60)
