Researchers have discovered a mechanism of color vision that could answer long standing questions, such as why a dimly lit night sky has a bluish cast.
A new MIT study reports languages divide warmer colors into more color words than cooler shades. This, researchers note, is apparent across more than 100 languages.

While only 1 in 25 people has synesthesia, a new study reports intuitions about 'sound colors' are shared by a greater percentage of people. Sound color perception is mainly driven by the vowels in language.
According to a new study, the color of light has significant impact on our circadian clock.
The evolution of red color vision in a species of butterfly is linked to coordinating rhodopsin tuning.
According to researchers, color vision is vital for chickens to find good food and the right mating partner.
A new study reports on how simultaneous counter-change of luminance at the borders between object and background triggers activity waves in the visual brain.
Visual neurons selectively respond to color and shape along a continuum. While some neurons are only activated by either a specific color or shape, others are responsive to color and shape simultaneously. The findings contradict previous beliefs about how visual processing works.
Novel technology allows researchers to understand how a fruit fly's brain processes color.
According to researchers, the 'fill in' effect makes only a small contribution to how we perceive colors in an image. The study also provides new evidence that color processing cells play a vital role in color perception.
Researchers suggest blind and sighted people experience visual phenomena differently, but share a common understanding of them.
People are oblivious to change when color is removed from peripheral vision. Research reports the brain likely fills in for much of our perceptual experience when it comes to seeing the entire picture in color.
