Original sentence: According to color researcher Jay Neitz, each of the three standard color-detecting cones in the retina of human trichromats — blue, green and red — can pick up about 100 different gradations of hues.But the brain can combine those variations exponentially, multiplying by 100 for each new variety of cone.Thus the average human can distinguish about one million different hues.With a single type of cone, a monochromat can distinguish about 100 different shades of gray
