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 ...

A team of scientists believes they have discovered a new color outside the range of human vision. They named the color “olo” and describe it as an “unprecedented,” ultra-saturated, bluish-green. The ...

(Nanowerk News) As artificial intelligence and smart devices continue to evolve, machine vision is taking an increasingly pivotal role as a key enabler of modern technologies. Unfortunately, despite ...

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 ...

There are millions of them in our eye’s retina—special photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones that allow us to perceive a wide range of light intensities and colors. "There is a critical need to ...

Scientists have created a new platform called 'Oz' that uses laser light to control up to 1,000 photoreceptors in the eye at once. Using Oz, the researchers showed people images, videos and a new, ...

New findings in color vision research imply that humans can perceive a greater range of blue tones than monkeys do. “Distinct connections found in the human retina may indicate recent evolutionary ...

Scientists conducting targeted retinal stimulation claim to have discovered a new color. In a study published in Science Advances on April 18, a group of five researchers stimulated retina cells in ...

Color is more than a sensory pleasure; it is a tool refined by evolution. Our ability to perceive a broad spectrum of hues is a remarkable biological achievement shaped by survival pressures, social ...

TL;DR: Researchers have discovered a color called "olo," unseen by humans before, by stimulating specific M cones in the retina. This breakthrough bypasses natural RGB limitations, revealing a unique ...
