Is it true that human color perception depends on the biological response of retinal cone cells to specific wavelengths?

Yes. Human color perception relies fundamentally on the activation of retinal cone photoreceptor cells responding to specific light wavelengths.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the foundational physiological principle that human color vision begins with the spectral sensitivities and photopigment responses of retinal cone cells (L, M, and S cones) to specific light wavelengths.
