Color recognition is the ability to identify and differentiate colors. This skill is essential for various activities, such as reading, driving, and art. It involves the perception of light wavelengths, which our eyes detect and our brains interpret as different colors. In humans, color recognition typically develops in early childhood. Most people can recognize a wide range of colors, including primary colors like red, blue, and yellow, as well as secondary colors like green, orange, and purple. Some individuals, however, may experience color vision deficiencies, commonly known as color blindness, which affects their ability to distinguish certain colors.
