Abstract
An evaluation is given of the postulate that color discrimination is achieved by the sensing of optical mode patterns excited in the retinal cones. Results are presented from analyses of the patterns and spectral responses of the optical modes. It is shown that these modes qualitatively have the proper characteristics required to satisfy the color discrimination properties of human vision. This postulate results in simple and natural explanations for the primary causes of color blindness.Keywords
