The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a retinal cone cell. Any process that modulates the process whereby a cell becomes committed to a retinal cone cell fate. Retinal cone cell fate commitment is the process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a retinal cone cell. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a photoreceptor cell in a camera-type eye. Any process that increases the process whereby a cell becomes committed to a retinal cone cell fate. Retinal cone cell fate commitment is the process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a retinal cone cell. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a retinal cone cell regardless of its environment; upon determination, the cell fate cannot be reversed. Process by which a cell becomes capable of differentiating autonomously into a retinal cone cell in an environment that is neutral with respect to the developmental pathway; upon specification, the cell fate can be reversed. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into an eye photoreceptor cell. A photoreceptor cell is a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation. Different classes of photoreceptor have different spectral sensitivities and express different photosensitive pigments. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a retinal cone cell. A retinal cone cell is one of the two photoreceptor subtypes in a camera-type eye. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a photoreceptor cell in a camera-type eye.
