    There are three types of color receptors in your eye: red, green and blue. But how do we see the amazing kaleidoscope of other colors that make up our world? Colm Kelleher explains how humans can see everything from auburn to aquamarine.

    First I always think the natural world is beautiful. But in a way, the act of us learning something is just as beautiful

    this fascinating! but then I started to wonder... what if someone genetically engineered a people with retina cone cells for other light waves? like ultraviolet or radio waves. would those guys think the rest of us color blind? and how might their perception of color be different from ours? Makes you think doesn't it?

    RGB is an additive color system, where the colors combine together at the same time.
    Red blue and yellow form the basis of a subtractive color system. Each dye works by absorbing colors, but reflecting a certain frequency well in order to give it its color. When you combine them, the two dyes each absorb some of each others frequencies, which causes them to reduce the strength of the two.
    The primary colors in each are really determined by several things and I don't have room here for it.

    Yea, you made my point clearer and more concise than I did, hadn't thought about the "cross wiring" with other sensations of which there are many examples now I think about it!

    I like hearing voice artists with a variety of accents. Addison is good, but I'm happy to hear the diversity of others.

    Thank you so much for your videos. I find them very helpful; I have an exam in perception and cognition, and your videos are extremely helpful! Thank you!

    Finally, It took me some time to find a show that understands why we really see light. I give props to Colm Kelleher's internet science show... I feel you should get the nobel-peace prize but maybe some day...

    Wow, I'm used to working with RGB stuff in photoshop and video editing software, but I honestly never knew why these three colours are so important. Thank you so much for clearing that up, it totally makes sense to me now!:)
