 '''Color''' (or 'colour' in [[British English]]) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called [[red]], [[yellow]], [[white]], etc. Color derives from the [[spectrum]] of [[light]] (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the [[eye]] with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.
-Typically, only features of the composition of light that are detectable by humans (wavelength spectrum from 400 nm to 700 nm, roughly) are included, thereby objectively relating the psychological phenomenon of color to its physical specification. Because perception of color stems from the varying sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the [[retina]] to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical or physiological quantifications of color, however, do not fully explain the psychophysical perception of color appearance.
