Rods detect light; cones detect green, blue, and red light; and the brain combines the three colors.

Explanation: Rods are sensitive to low light (brightness) but not color. Cones come in three types (roughly blue, green, red sensitivity); the brain compares/combines their signals to produce color vision.
