The mammalian eye has essentially three types of cones. (trichromatic vision as evolved-very common amongst apes that have excellent colour vision).

They contain light-sensitive pigments called photopsins. each one is sensitive to a different coour wavelentght: red, green, blue. By stimulating each cone in different regions of the eye (especially on the fovea) the brian interprets colour vision.
