Do cool colors reflect more light than warm colors?
It depends on the specific colors and whether they are tints or tones or pure hues. For instance Navy Blue is a cool color, but yellow (a warm color) reflects more light. But a dark red (warm color) would reflect less light than a light blue (cool). In color theory, using pure color hues (which don't actually exist in commercial products), Red, Blue, and Green would all reflect exactly the same amount of light, and Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow would all reflect exactly the same amount of light. But Magenta, Cyan, and yellow would each reflect exactly twice the light as Red, Blue, and Red.
What would a green object look like in a magenta light?
A pure green object would reflect the green third of the spectrum, and absorb the red and blue portions. Magenta light is composed of red and blue waves so they would be absorbed by the green object. Therefore, in theory, a green object would appear neutral, virtually black. But this assumes that all the colors are very pure and perfectly balanced. This is unlikely, so the object would most likely look near neutral with some color skewing one way or another.
What would an objects colour be if it was green but you shone red light on to it?
A green object absorbs all light except green which is reflected by the pigment. White light is made up of all colors and all except green are absorbed; only green is reflected. If a red light is the only one illuminating a green shirt there is no green to reflect so the shirt will look black.
What color will a red object appear under green light?
It would appear black because the object would not reflect any of the colors of light back.
Why does a red shirt look black in blue light?
Well, why do you call it a red shirt ? Could it be because it absorbs all colors of light except red, so that when white light shines on it, all colors except red soak into the shirt, and red is the only light left to travel from the shirt to your eye ? If that is so, then what happens if no red light shines on the shirt ? Is there any light left to travel to your eye ? No ? Well then, what color do you see if no light travels from the shirt to your eye ? I hope Socrates would be proud.
Why does a red shirt take in more heat?
Because it will absorb all the colors of the light spectrum but red, something like a white shirt would reflect all the colors making it absorb less, a black shirt would take in all the color making it the hottest to wear.

What method to use for color visible?
Colors reflect of a surface, and the other colors are absorbed, say it was a blue dress. All the other colors would be absorbed, and blue would reflect so you could see it.
What colors you need to make light magenta printer ink?
I think the only way is to add water,I don't believe adding yellow would be the answerAnswerAdding yellow would turn cyan to green and magenta to red. My printer uses "light magenta" and "light cyan" inks which use different pigments than the full-strength magenta and cyan, maybe you could add some of those to your cartridge when you refill it.
What colors to mix to get magenta?
Red and violet.
What color do red light and green light form?
Brown. Here's why. Green is a combination of yellow and cyan (aka blue). Red is close to magenta; it is magenta with a little yellow mixed in. Thus green + red is a combination of all three primary colors: magenta, yellow and cyan. The combination would thus lead to a brownish color, since browns are what you tend to get when you mix all three primary colors. Short primer. Magenta, yellow and cyan (blue) are primary colors. Orange is an equal mix of magenta and yellow. Green is an equal mix of yellow and cyan. Red is a mix of orange and magenta.
What colors mercury?
Mercury is a merky colour. If you were to think of a paint palette you would mix flourescent magenta and muddy brown.
What color does red look like under magenta light?
It would be a dark shade of red, becasue there isn't much red light for it to reflect.
What are the main colors of monkeys?
monkeys mean elephants and elephants mean cats so there basic color probably would be magenta
What would you have to wear to live on the sun?
You can't live on the sun. Even with the most heatproof clothes you would incinerate waaaaaaaaaaay before you even got near the surface if it was possible you would want to wear extremely light colors because they reflect heat, sandals, a t shirt, and shorts.
How does the color of a shirt affect the amount of heat it absorbs?
Well, Ex: If you went to six flags you would most likely want to choose a white instead of a black shirt. Here's why. White doesn't have any colors in it so the sun's rays beam right through it, whereas if you wore a black shirt the sun's rays would attract that color and reflect its rays on that color, causing it to absorb much more sun rays than a white shirt ever would. That's the best way I could put it.
Why does the sun reflect off of white and not black?
-- Where you see white, you see a surface that reflects all colors. If it didn't reflect all colors, you would see only the colors that it does reflect. -- Black is not a color. It's the absence of light. An object that appears black to you is one that absorbs light of all colors, so there's no light remaining to proceed from it to your eyes.
