Cones enable vision in bright light and are colour sensitive unlike the rods.
Explanation:
The two types of photoreceptors in the human retina are rods and cones.
Rods are greater in number, are capable of enabling vision in low light, but cannot distinguish colour and have low spatial acuity.
Cones are less in number, cannot enable vision in low light, but they enable colour vision and have high spatial acuity.
