Wikipedia
trichromatic
Trichromacy or trichromatism is the possessing of three independent channels for conveying color information, derived from the three different types of cone cells in the eye. Organisms with trichromacy are called trichromats. The normal explanation of trichromacy is that the organism's retina contains three types of color receptors (called cone cells in vertebrates) with different absorption spectra. In actuality the number of such receptor types may be greater than three, since different types may be active at different light intensities. In vertebrates with three types of cone cells, at low light intensities the rod cells may contribute to color vision.

Trichromatic refers to the condition or quality of perceiving, transmitting, or emitting three distinct colors. Most often, it is used in the context of human vision, where it refers to the ability to see and distinguish the three primary colors: red, green, and blue. The combination of these colors in varying intensities allows for the perception of all visible colors.
