How does light create the colors you see?
You and your clothes absorb some of the photons, creating the colors you see.
What gives an object its colour?
All objects absorb, reflect, and/or transmit light of specific colors. Generally, we cannot see absorbed light, but we can see reflected and transmitted light, and it is this selectivity of which colors are reflected or transmitted that give objects their color..A green sofa, for example, absorbs all colors exceptgreen, which it reflects. When white light strikes the sofa, only the green component of the white light reflects off the sofa, and so we observe that the sofa is green..Similarly, if we were to put a red filter over a traffic light, the filter will absorb all colors except red, and it will allow only red light to pass through the filter. So when that specific traffic light is energized, we see only red light..Some objects, such as glass and air, transmit all visible colors - that is, clear glass and air are transparent to all visible colors. We would categorize such items as colorless.
Why do you see objects as different colors when light is shining on them?
Because certain objects can absorb specific wavelengths of light(color) and they reflect the waves that they cannot absorb. the reflected wave of light is the visible color of the object.
Are the colors of light that objects absorb the colors you see?
No, the colors you see are the colors that are reflected by the object. White light is composed of several different wavelengths of energy, these different energies correspond to different visible colors. When an object absorbs the light, it absorbs its energy, the rest of the energy is reflected from the surface. That energy is what you see in the form of photons (light). So, if an object looks blue to you, that object is absorbing red light.
How does light affect the colors you see?
because of our retna
The colors of light that object are the colors you see?
reflect
Can you see colors without the light?
no because you need light to see
What are specific colors of light that can be seen by the human eye?
The colors of light that can be seen by the human eye are the visible spectrum. The specific colors in the visible spectrum are; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

When in nature do we see all the colors in the visible light spectrum?
You see all the colors in a rainbow.
How does light enable you to see colors?
the light already have colour
When all colors of light combine we see what color do we see?
when you see all of the colors when they combine it makes black

What color do birds see?
Birds can see in color and they see colors of ultra-violet light. There are species of birds that seem to prefer specific color.
