Most of them are caused by the missing or defect of one of the three cones in the retina responsible for color vision. (google.com)
Those who are "color weak" are called trichromats, as they have cones in the retina to see all three primary colors. (aviationmedicine.com)

Between these regions, mesopic vision comes into play and both rods and cones provide signals to the retinal ganglion cells. (wikipedia.org)

Color vision is categorized foremost according to the dimensionality of the color gamut, which is defined by the number of primaries required to represent the color vision. (wikipedia.org)
The ProPhoto RGB color space uses fictitious green and blue primaries to obtain a broader gamut (space inside the triangle) than would be possible with three realistic primaries. (wikipedia.org)
By mixing any three colors, one can therefore create any color contained in the triangle they describe-this is called the gamut formed by those three colors, which are called primary colors . (wikipedia.org)
When defining primaries, the goal is often to leave as many real colors in gamut as possible. (wikipedia.org)

In primates, color vision may have evolved under selective pressure for a variety of visual tasks including the foraging for nutritious young leaves, ripe fruit, and flowers, as well as detecting predator camouflage and emotional states in other primates. (wikipedia.org)
Now, a team of California Institute of Technology researchers has published a paper suggesting that we primates evolved our particular brand of color vision so that we could subtly discriminate slight changes in skin tone due to blushing and blanching. (sciencedaily.com)
The work may answer a long-standing question about why trichromat vision (that is, color via three cone receptors) evolved in the first place in primates. (sciencedaily.com)
But if you look at the variety of diets of all the primates having trichromat vision, the evidence is not overwhelming. (sciencedaily.com)
As a result, primates with trichromat vision are not only able to tell if a potential partner is having a rush of emotion due to the anticipation of mating, but also if an enemy's blood has drained out of his face due to fear. (sciencedaily.com)

A fictitious color or imaginary color is a point in a color space that corresponds to combinations of cone cell responses in one eye that cannot be produced by the eye in normal circumstances seeing any possible light spectrum. (wikipedia.org)

Virtually all our visible colors can be produced by utilizing some combination of the three primary colors, either by additive or subtractive processes. (cambridgeincolour.com)
Additive processes create color by adding light to a dark background, whereas subtractive processes use pigments or dyes to selectively block white light. (cambridgeincolour.com)
Monitors release light to produce additive colors, whereas printers use pigments or dyes to absorb light and create subtractive colors. (cambridgeincolour.com)
If this object instead had separate and pronounced peaks in just the the red and green regions, then its hue would instead be yellow (see the additive color mixing table). (cambridgeincolour.com)
