The wavelength curve the rods are sensitive to spikes in the middle of all the wavelengths curves for all the cones. So I think the mental sensation of gray is pretty accurate, actually, since it is close to being just a rough measurement of all the others.
- alphaBetaGamma 13y agoYou are saying that the rods' spectral curve response is collinear with the cones. That would do the trick, but I'm a bit surprised as I don't see any reason for evolution to push you in that direction. Do you have a reference for this? Quick googling seems to show that the rods' response curve is not, it seems to be a most sensitive at a wavelengths between the peak of the blue and green cones.
