The visible spectrum includes 300 wavelengths (400-700 nm), and in some portions we can discern color differences of 1 wavelength. The ability to see so many colors depends on:
a. a separate cone for each wavelength.b. optic nerve fibers for each color.c. visual cortex neurons sensitive to each color.d. difference in stimulation of red, green and blue sensitive cones.

Red cones Green cones Blue cones Brightness = R + G Color = R – G Color = B – (R+G) Red cones
outnumber green cones 2/1
Red + Green cones outnumber blue cones 10/1

What happens in hereditary color deficiency?
Red or green cone peak sensitivity is shifted.
Red or green cones absent.

Why do colors that look different to us appear the same to
color deficient individuals?
![Page 15: 1 Color Vision Fundamentals Jeff Rabin, OD, PhD Chief, Visual Function Laboratory Ophthalmology Branch USAF School of Aerospace Medicine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d195503460f949ee304/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

B RG
Color Normal Individual
Large difference in stimulation of green and red
cones
Small difference in stimulation
Consider a green vs. yellow light…
The two spots appear different in color because R-G is large for one, and small for the other.

Deuteranomaly
Small difference in stimulation
Small difference in stimulation
Each spot produces the same R-G stimulation and thus looks the same!
(the green sensitivity curve is shifted toward the red)
Look the same!

Color Labeling Color deficients rely heavily
on context and learning—apple is “red” because patient learns to call it red —same hue may appear gray when presented without other cues.
For wavelengths beyond 545, relative brightness, context, and learning play a significant role verbal label and response.

Hereditary Color Deficiency 8-10% of males and 1/200 females (0.5%) are
born with red or green color deficiency. Sex-linked recessive condition (X chromosome).
Protanomaly—red cone peak shifted toward green (1%)
Protan Dichromat—red cones absent (1%) Deuteranomaly—green cone peak shifted
toward red (5%) Deutan Dichromat—green cones absent (1%) Hereditary tritan defects are rare (0.008%)
