still yellow. The appearance of a color is because the banana peel reflects that color, among the many colors in a white light, and absorbs the other colors.

What color does a green and orange object reflect?

An object appears a certain color to you because it reflects that color of light and absorbs other colors of light. For example, a white object appears white because it reflects all colors of visible light (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). A black object appears black because it absorbs all of these colors--and as a result, none of those colors are reflected back to your eyes. Under white light, the object appears yellow-green because it reflects both yellow and green light and absorbs all other colors. (Remember, white light has all colors of visible light in it). If only green light is present, there's only green light for it to reflect--so it will appear green. If you shined yellow light on it only, it would be yellow. If you shined yellow and green light, it would appear yellow-green again. It you shined red and blue light on it, it would appear black, because it absorbs both of those colors.


What light shines out of a prism if white light is shined into it?

White light contains all colors of the spectrum. If white light is shined on a prism, we'd expect to see a "rainbow" emerging, and that means red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.


What color would a green object be if you shined an orange light on it?

A "green" object is called "green" because that's the only color of light it reflects, and it absorbs any other color. If orange light is shining on it, then there's no light for it to reflect, and it looks black to you.

White light is made up of equal parts of three primary colours; red, green, and blue (Or RGB). A banana will absorb the blue light, and then all that is left is the red and green. If you mix red and green together, you get a gold-yellow sort of colour, the same colour as a banana.
