The average human eye can distinguish approximately 10 million different colors! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This ability is due to the three types of cone cells in the retina, which are sensitive to red, green, and blue light. When these cones are stimulated in different combinations, the brain can interpret the vast spectrum of colors we see.
Some people even have a rare genetic condition called tetrachromacy, which gives them an extra type of cone and may allow them to see even more colors than average.
