Evolution of human colour vision as 'visual purple' receptor proteins, are encoded by Rh1, OPN2 and RHO genes. They are characterized by extreme sensitivity to light and enable monochromatic human vision in low light or dim conditions. They are broken down into retinal and opsin when exposed to these conditions. Humans have 3 types of photopsin proteins found in the cone cells.

Its sensitivity to the colour red is still known to be higher than the
