The three sets of color receptors within the retina are known as cone cells, which are sensitive to different ranges of wavelengths corresponding to short, medium, and long wavelengths of light. These correspond to the colors blue (short wavelengths), green (medium wavelengths), and red (long wavelengths). Together, these cone types allow for the perception of a wide spectrum of colors through a process called trichromatic vision. The combination of signals from these cones enables the brain to interpret and differentiate various colors in the visual environment.
