Zone theories of color vision transform R, G, B cone signals to a set of summing and differencing channels. Although the general principles of this transformation are well known, there are subtleties in the transformation which are not well understood. For example: (i) The r–g channel sends two kinds of signal, depending on the spatial frequencies of the stimulus. It sends a difference or hue signal at low spatial frequencies and an additive or achromatic signal in response to high spatial frequencies. (ii) The B ‐cone contribution to the r–g channel is greater by a factor of 10 for desaturated stimuli. A quantitative saturation‐dependent mechanism can account for the B ‐cone input to the r–g channel.
