Document Summary
1: photopigment bleaching- a photopigment molecule"s loss of ability to absorb light, chromatic adaptation- a kind of photopigment bleaching that results from for a period after undergoing photoisomerization. In all such cases, the person has a limited form of color vision but cannot discriminate as many colors as a person with all 3 types of cones. 3 sub-elements, each designed to emit the light of one of three primary colors- red, green, or blue. Reading notes: light and color, the visible spectrum ranges from about 400-700mn. Add the opponent color: unique colors are those that are perceived as a pure color and not a combination of colors. In any given scene, the region that reflects the most light is perceived as white (or the lightest shade) and the lightness of every other region is perceived in relation to that anchor point: 2.
