color preference in babies

A teacher in our building asked me today about color preference in
babies. Her daughter is doing her science project on something to do
with that. I seem to remember that a baby's first response is to red.
Does anyone have anymore info on this or know which direction to look. I
looked in some color theory textbooks and wonder if it has to do with
the develope of cones and rods in the eye. Any thoughts or references
would be helpful...Thanks in advance. ( I love having so many other
brains to pick on these tough questions)
