The longest visible wavelengths are red,


What color has the most color?

Technically white. Color is from wavelengths of light being reflected, and white is a reflection of all wavelengths

The color white reflects all wavelengths of the visible spectrum. That is why it is the brightest color.


What color does not absorb all wavelength of light?

Black is the only color that does absorb all wavelengths of light.White is the color that reflects all wavelengths of light.All other colors absorb only certain wavelengths of light and reflect the rest.


If light of all visible wavelengths is combined the results appear to be what color?

If the lights from all visible wavelengths are combined, they appear to be a white color.


What color are objects that absorb all colors that reflects little light?

Black objects absorb all or most of the visible wavelengths of light, whereas white objects reflect all wavelengths. When all visible wavelengths (violet to red) enter the eye in equal proportions, the color is perceived as white. When no wavelengths reach the eye, the color is perceived as black. Every other color is a mixture of this continuum of wavelengths.


What minerals are used to make the color bright green?

Mineral color is caused by the absorption, or lack of absorption, of various wavelengths of light. The minerals that are used to make the color bright green are copper, nickel and barium.


Can light have color?

What is the color of an object is?

The color of an object are defined by the wavelengths of visible light that the object reflects. This reflected light is picked up by our eyes and interpreted as color. The other wavelengths of light are absored.


What determines the color of a transparent or translucent object?

It depends upon what wavelengths of light are absorbed, and which wavelengths are transmitted.
