When we perceive color, our brain's neural pathways light up with activity in a complex cascade, shaping how we inter-pret, feel and even physically respond to colors. When we perceive color, our brain's neurological pathways engage in a complex process that links visual information with emo-tional and cognitive responses. Light enters the eye and is detected by photoreceptor cells in the retina, which are specialized to respond to different wavelengths of light. Pri-marily red, green, and blue. This information is then con-verted into electrical signals and sent via the optic nerve to the brain's visual cortex, where the signals are interpreted and translated into colors.
