Is melanopsin activation affecting large field color-matching functions?

Abstract

Color theory is based on the exclusive activation of cones. However, since the discovery of melanopsin expressing cells in the human retina, evidence of its intrusion in brightness and color vision is increasing. We aimed to assess if differences between peripheral or large field and foveal color matches can be accounted for by melanopsin activation or rod intrusion. Photopic color matches by young observers showed that differences between extrafoveal and foveal results cannot be explained by rod intrusion. Furthermore, statistical analyses on existing color-matching functions suggest a role of melanopsin activation, particularly, in large field $S$ fundamentals.
