Humans rely on sight, which is primarily mediated by three color-sensing cone types, to perceive the world in a kaleidoscope of hues. Blue cones develop earliest, followed by the morphologically ...

Scientists have created a color that lies outside the range of normal human vision. Using laser pulses to stimulate specific cells in the retina, a team from UC Berkeley and the University of ...

Scientists say they’ve discovered a new color called "olo," seen only by five people using laser-based retinal stimulation. The color was created by targeting a single type of cone cell in the eye, ...

After decades of studying color vision in mice, new research in zebrafish has allowed experts to uncover how some animals regulate their ability to see blue light. The results allow researchers to ...

A new experiment into color vision has allowed a select group of human subjects to see a new color. Subjects describe the “unprecedented” color as a very saturated teal. Researchers are looking into ...

UC Berkeley scientists tricked the eye into seeing "the greenest green" they'd ever seen. They say it could transform how we understand and treat eye diseases, and expand the way we see the world ...
