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.

Why is a black table black?

A black table is black because all of the colours are absorbed , and none are reflected. It is the same for any other black item too, for example: A chair. Now, if a chair is red, that is because blue and green (the 2 other primary colours in light) are absorbed and red is reflected. It is the same for if a chair is blue or green, the two other colours are absorbed, so the colour you are seeing is reflected.

What must happen to all wave lengths of light for a substance to appear white?

The colours we see in an object are only the colours that are reflected. Inferentially, the other colours are absorbed. The grass is green (when illuminated by a white light source) because the redder end of the spectrum is absorbed and used by the plant to do its stuff - photosynthesis and so on. A white card appears white because all the light wavelengths [to which we can respond] are reflected. That card may absorb some of the white light, but not at wavelengths to which we respond.

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
