retinex A theory proposed to explain colour and brightness perception and constancies. It postulates that the colour of an object is not determined by the spectral composition of the light stimulus coming from an object, but is determined by information obtained from a comparison of three lightnesses generated by the light absorption of the three types of cone cell. The name of the theory 'retinex' reflects the fact that the perception of the image results from the retina and the cortex. See pigment visual. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Prior investigations have failed to clarify whether color constancy is an innate capability of the retina's cone cells or it's acquired only with help from the brain's visual system. Color constancy is the name of the game for the brain. Outperforming the color constancy and brightness of previous LED designs, 6-lead MultiLEDs can be arranged closely together and flat on the board, resulting in light that is distributed more evenly. |
