What are photoreceptors that convey your ability to see color?

Photoreceptors that convey the ability to see color are called cones. There are three types of cone cells in the human retina, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light corresponding to blue, green, and red. The brain processes the signals from these cones to create a full spectrum of colors, allowing us to perceive and differentiate various hues. In contrast, rod cells are responsible for vision in low light but do not contribute to color perception.
