Bill’s shirt looks dark gray in color because in the dim light, the cones in the eyes are ineffectual.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Retina has two cells, holds the rods- for seeing black and white. The cones are responsible for seeing colors and turn a picture into an electrical message for the brain.

Retina in the eye contains the receptor cells. The cone cells become fatigued after long time exposure to a colored image.

A photoreceptor is responsible for adjusting bright light to darkness or vice versa. Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptors in the human retina.

Do you like ice cream? I sure do! Ice cream is the perfect treat to cool down, and tastes good too. It's so good you might want to eat it year round! Being frozen, you'd eat it in the summer, not the winter. The summer is hot, so it would taste good then, but who eats ice cream in the winter? The winter is cold, and I'd prefer a nice hot cocoa then!!!
