Following substantial bleaching by “white” light, absolute threshold, relative spectral sensitivity and sensation of hue of monochromatic lights were measured at the central fovea during the cone‐plateau period. The absolute‐threshold level was found to increase and then decrease markedly, the relative spectral sensitivity remained invariant, while the sensation of hues of monochromatic lights from the long‐and middle‐wave regions of the spectrum changed toward hues of shorter wavelengths.
