     • Rods and cones both line the retina, that inner surface at the back of the eye. But these light sensors are not distributed evenly. And they respond to light in different ways. It’s these differences between rods and cones that explains why objects seem to vanish in the dark.

   Why do people see color in the dark?

   • This memory color effect also explains why you tend to "see" color in the dark even though there is no light stimulation: It is likely that your brain is constructing color based on a memory. On the other hand, when the object is unfamiliar, your brain can assign color based on what you expect the object to look like.

   Why do objects vanish in the dark?

   • Rods and cones both line the retina, that inner surface at the back of the eye. But these light sensors are not distributed evenly. And they respond to light in different ways. It’s these differences between rods and cones that explains why objects seem to vanish in the dark. Cones allow us to see color and fine detail.

   Why do we see colors in bright light?

   • That's why we can see colors easily in bright light. But as it gets darker, as the sun sets or you switch off the lights in a room, rods start to take over because they're more sensitive to light than cones are. The rods dominate night vision, while cones are only weakly activated.

   What is lightness in psychology?

   • Lightness is the psychological experience of the luminosity of an object which is the brightness of an object. Lightness is how light or dark a color appears to be. For example, when you compare red, yellow, and blue in the same saturation together, yellow actually has the highest lightness value because we perceive it as the brightest.

   Can you see things in the dark?

   • Images of things in your peripheral vision fall on parts of the retina covered with mostly rod cells. Because those rods work well in low light, you can detect things on the periphery of your vision better when its dark. You can try this for yourself. In the dark, look just off to the side of an object.
