Cone receptors in the human eye lose their color sensitivity with age, but our subjective experience of color remains largely unchanged over the years. This ability to compensate for age-related ...

A team of scientists believes they have discovered a new color outside the range of human vision. They named the color “olo” and describe it as an “unprecedented,” ultra-saturated, bluish-green. The ...

Using the lamprey, researchers analyzed the photosensory mechanism of the pineal organ, also called the pineal gland, in non-mammalian vertebrates and discovered a novel mechanism of pineal color ...

Color vision deficiency (CVD) encompasses a spectrum of inherited and acquired conditions affecting the ability to discriminate colours, most notably in the red-green domain. Among these, anomalous ...

After decades of studying color vision in mice, new research in zebrafish has allowed experts to uncover how some animals regulate their ability to see blue light. The results allow researchers to ...

The earliest snakes lost much of their ability to see color as they inhabited dimly lit spaces. Now, a collaboration of researchers from The University of Adelaide (Australia), The University of ...

Humans rely on sight, which is primarily mediated by three color-sensing cone types, to perceive the world in a kaleidoscope of hues. Blue cones develop earliest, followed by the morphologically ...

A new experiment into color vision has allowed a select group of human subjects to see a new color. Subjects describe the “unprecedented” color as a very saturated teal. Researchers are looking into ...
