Cone cell sensitivity traced from: http://michaeldmann.net/pix_7/cone_sen.gif . Caption says: Contributions of the individual color-receptor mechanisms to the total foveal sensitivity of a single human subject. In this particularly blue-sensitive observer, when the total foveal sensitivity is given a maximal height of 1.0, the heights of the B, G, and R curves are 0.053:0.575:0.542. In the average observer, the blue component is only about one-third as high as that shown here. (Wald G: Science 145:1007-1016, 1964)
