Where is the exact location of the cones in the retina?

Answer 1

The cones are the sensory receptors responsible for picking up light of different wavelengths and therefore colours. These are concentrated in an area of the retina called the macular lutea in particular in a pit called the fovea.

Answer 2

Cones are located in the central part of the retina called the fovea. The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision and color vision. There are three types of cones in the fovea that are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive colors.
