Which of the following explains why a rose appears equally red in bright and dim light?

Correct answer: D. color constancy

  • A. the Young-Helmholtz theory
  • B. the opponent-process theory
  • C. feature detection
  • D. color constancy

Explanation

Color constancy keeps an object’s perceived color relatively stable despite changes in illumination, so the rose still appears red in bright or dim light. The other options describe color theories or a general perceptual process.
