The specialized type of cell in human eyes which help to detect color, a layer at the back of the eyeball containing cells that are sensitive to light and that trigger nerve impulses that pass via the optic nerve to the brain, that is called a retina.

Answer:

Retina

Step-by-step explanation:

Cone cells, or cones, are of three types of photo receptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye). They are responsible for color vision and function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells, which work better in dim light.

Cones require a lot more light and they are used to see color. We have three types of cones: blue, green, and red.
