How does the eye see color?

Question

Answer 1

The eye detects light, and the on scale ROY G BIV (stands for the colors of the rainbow) the eye would be able to distinguish what color an object is, by light passing through only some of the colors on the scale and boucing off the eye, making only certain colors visable at one time.

Not sure about your other question though.

Answer 2

Ok.  Here comes an ocular physiology class.  The human eye has three different types of cones (color receptors) in the retina.  Each type is designed to respond to different wavelengths of light.  Depending upon what color light is falling on the retina, the cones will be stimulated at different degrees.  The brain "listens" to the comparative inputs from each type of cone as they send their response to the brain.  Based upon how each cone in comparison to the others sends its signal to the brain, the brain then interprets the combined cone responses and assesses what wavelength must have fallen on the retina to produce the specific set of combined color responses to the visual cortex.  There ya go.
