Cones are responsible for color vision and function best in well-lit conditions, allowing us to see vibrant colors. In contrast, rods excel in low-light environments, providing us with monochromatic vision. The distribution of cones and rods in the retina shapes our ability to perceive colors under different lighting conditions.
