How do things get their color?
The colour you see on an object is that object reflecting a certain spectrum of light. All other colours it absorbs. Black - absorbs all colours. White - Refelcts all
What color do you see when all colors are absorbed?
Grey
What colors are in a diamond?
A diamond reflects light and refracts it, so the colours you see coming from a diamond are a combination of the colour of the light source and the colours of a refracted rainbow.
Which colors are absorbed by a black shirt?
the black skirt obsorbes every color in the rainbow. see light the primary colors are the secondary colors of the color wheel. the light(comes from sun)colors mixed all together makes white otherwise the world would be black. the colors from paint markers and cryans when mixed all together makes black. hope this helps u:)
When the three primary pigments are mixed in equal amounts is the end color is white?
yes because when we see something white like a white light it is actually the primary colours but are eyes are telling us to see them as white and not individual colours but if there is more of one colour then it will come out that colour more instead of white. Unfortunately mixing pigment is not like mixing light. If you mix equal parts of all three primary colours of light, you will get white light. If you mix equal parts of the tree primary pigments you will get some form of black/grey/brown.
How do you see different colours?
We see different colours because other colours are being absorbed.
Why does black absorb colours that are are close to it in the spectrum?
Black absorbs all colors because the absense of all colors makes black. If all colors are absorbed, then no color is returned to your eyes and you see nothing (black).
Why does black absorb the most energy from the sun?
Firstly, black is not a colour - it is the absence of colour (white isn't a colour either - it is a mixture or combination of all 'colours'). We see colour when its particular wavelength is reflected of the surface of something. The wavelength(s) reflected depends on the composition of the surface. Back to black - so when we see 'black' it is because all wavelengths of light has been absorbed by that surface. Light is energy; all that energy being absorbed = heat.
Why do you see a black shirt as black?
Because the colours we see are the part of the visible spectrum that's not absorbed by the object we're looking at. Grass is green - because green is the only colour that's reflected back at the observer. Black absorbs every colour - so we see 'nothing'.
How do you see black and white?
BlackAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the black object and all of the colours that make the white light the light absorbs into the object and no light reflects.WhiteAll of the colours that make the white light shine down on the white object and the light and no light is absorbed into the object but all of the colours that make the white light are reflected into your eyes
What three colours are used to build all colours on a color monitor screen?
Im Not So Sure About Colours On A Monitor Screen But.. Humans Can Only See Three Colours, Green, Blue And Red For Example A Leaf Looks Green Because Red And Blue Light Are Being Absorbed But Green Light Is Being Reflected. The Three Colours Mix To Create Other Colours Such As Magenta Or Cyan. If Something Looks Black Its Because All Three Colours Are Being Absorbed If Something Looks White Its Because All Three Colours Are Being Reflected
Why are black and white not colors?
Black and White are Colours Because They can Be Mixed To Create A New Colour. they are also colours because you can actually see them, if they were not colours then you wouldn't be able to see them. the only reason why they are not colours because they are shades
Can tiger see colours?
only if your black
How is the color black formed?
Light is made up of 7 colours, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. So when light reflects off, say, an orange book, the colour orange is reflected back into your eyes and the orange book absorbs all the other colours, making us see orange. When we see black, no light is reflected. All the colours are absorbed so no light is reflected back into our eyes, making black. Hope this helped! ;)))
How does light allow us to see?
Objects absorb light at certain frequencies and reflects light at other frequencies. The reason we see colours is because that is the frequency of light reflected, the reason we see black is because all colours are absorbed....it's nothing. So the reason we see objects is because light is reflected from them, this light then meets our eyes and creates an image.
What cause the color you see when you look at an opaque object?
White light is made up of all the colours of the rainbow. When light hits an object, some colours (wavelengths) are absorbed, and some reflected. The colour you see is a combination of all the reflected colours.
Who made colors?
Colours are made by reflected lights. When light hits an object, the color you see is being reflected, the ones you don't are being absorbed. Example: you have a blue object, blue is being reflected while the other colours are absorbed. With a colour like green, blue and yellow are reflected as the others are absorbed.
