Young-Helmholtz Theory杨-亥姆霍兹理论

Hermann von Helmholtz carried out similar color mixing experiments but at first rejected Young's theory because he was unable to match all spectral colors with trichromatic (three color) mixtures. He later realized that this result could be explained by the three retinal receptors having overlapping spectral sensitivities. Helmholtz went on to champion the trichromatic theory which later became known as the Young-Helmholtz theory.

Hermann von Helmholtz 进行了类似的颜色混合实验，但起初拒绝了 Young 的理论，因为他无法将所有光谱颜色与trichromatic（三原色）混合物相匹配。 他后来意识到这一结果可以用具有重叠光谱敏感性的三种视网膜受体来解释。 亥姆霍兹Helmholtz继而开始支持三原色理论，后来该理论被称为杨-亥姆霍兹理论。
