Editing Opponent process (section)

===Advantage===
Transmitting information in opponent-channel color space could be advantageous over transmitting it in [[LMS color space]] ("raw" signals from each cone type). There is some overlap in the [[wavelength]]s of [[light]] to which the three types of cones (''L'' for ''long-wave'', ''M'' for ''medium-wave'', and ''S'' for ''short-wave'' light) respond, so it is more efficient for the visual system (from a perspective of [[Dynamic range#Human perception|dynamic range]]) to record ''differences'' between the responses of cones, rather than each type of cone's individual response.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}}{{dubious|date=September 2022}}
