Nitter complete color theory

Rods and Cones

Begin Eye and Brain with rods and cones: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result. Includes a layered explanation, active exercise, critique, vocabulary and internal Nitter connections.

Colour fact

Rods are extremely sensitive in dim light but do not provide the three-channel signals needed for normal colour vision.

Active color study

Begin Eye and Brain with rods and cones: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

Estimated time: 75 minutes. The active exercise and optional knowledge check never gate navigation.

Scientific display limitation

Context scenes are illustrative rather than colorimetric evidence. Browser appearance varies across displays; print and CVD previews remain indicative.

• Previous: Changing Illuminants

  In Light and Surface, critique changing illuminants against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.

• Next: Central and Peripheral Vision

  Within Eye and Brain, build a working explanation of central and peripheral vision, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.
