Yes. If you use your eye to see the picture, you will see color. If you use photogrphic paper to record the image, whether or not you see color is determined by the nature of the film -black/white or color. There is nothing in the physics of the camera that prevents you from seeing color.

How does a Pinhole camera work?
A pinhole camera is the most simple form of Photography and requires practically no knowledge of photography to build a pinhole camera and capture an image using it. The basic principle behind a pinhole camera is the light enters through the pinhole at the front of the container (eg. a shoebox) travels through the light proof box and hits the photographic paper at the back of the box. The paper reacts to the light and where the light falls it is exposed (dark) and where there is no light the paper remains light. As you will be able to see after the image has been developed; the image produced will be a negative of the actual image. The image will also be upside-down due to the way in which the light enters the box. Then all that remains is to develop the photographic paper as you would normally. You will not see anything until you start to develop the paper. The paper will still appear white. Remember: - Light only travels in straight lines, - The box will need to be light proof apart from the pinhole at the front, - The pinhole cannot be too small, it can quite easily be too large, - Only place the paper in the box and remove it from the box in a darkroom. - Anything can be turned into a pinhole camera! Even rooms... Suggestions: - An old shoebox works well, as does a film canister. - Use black and white paper, it is easier to develop and far simpler to start with. Maybe experiment with colour afterwards. - You will need to use trial and error to find the correct exposure time. eg, if the image appears too dark decrease the exposure time, if it appears too light increase the exposure time. Have fun, pinhole camera's are great to make and a good introduction into photography. Alex Apps **************** - the aperture should be about 1/100th of the distance to the image plane visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera for a fascinating story about the world's largest pinhole camera Micron
How a camera produces images?
Light reflects off of all objects that you see around you. The light enters the camera through a lens that focuses the light onto the sensitive plate (film, or sensors in a digital camera). The plate captures the image and it is processed either chemically, if an analog camera is used, or by downloading to a computer or other digital image processor.
What things affect the image of a pinhole camera?
An image made with a pinhole camera can first of all be affected by how much light the paper is exposed to. The longer you keep the hole of the camera uncovered, the more the light will reach the paper, thus affecting how much of an image will be created. If you expose the paper too briefly, the paper might not get exposed enough and as a result when you try to develop the picture there will either be no image or a very faint one. However, if you expose the paper for too long, the image could end up too dark.If there are any areas where light can leak through the camera, that can result in the image being ruined and turning black.The size of the hole might also affect the image. If the hole is not quite big enough, there will not be sufficient light for the paper to be exposed and an image formed. Make sure that the hole is just the right size (the size of the tip of a pin).
What happens when you make the hole bigger in a pinhole camera?
Yes.Option 1 (>1:1 on The Print): Take any photo and have it enlarged until the subject is larger than life size.Option 2 (>1:1 on The Negative): Expose the image with a subject distance shorter than the camera's focal length.Most pinhole cameras have a fixed focal length. This is the physical distance from the pinhole (lens) to the film plane.If the camera has a 100mm focal length, then any image where the subject distance is < (less than) 100mm will be larger than 1:1 (life size) on the negativeCapturing images inside the focal length (Option 2) of a pinhole camera can create some very interesting perspective. Very small or flat subjects will look "normal", but larger more dimensional subjects will get stretched. The effect can be somewhat like a fish-eye lens.
How does a Pringle Pinhole Camera work?
imagine you're in a room with all the windows blacked out, you cut a small hole in the black out material allowing a small amount of light in, looking at the wall the light is projected on, you will see an upside down image of what is happening outside, this is how the pringle camera works, i did this on my taster day at college, hope it helps :) if you have the patience there is a video on bbc about it, but i'm not sure what it is called.
Why can not we see upside down image of the sun?
You can - use a pinhole camera ( or viewer).
A nearsighted person cannot see distant objects clearly without restive lenses. Yet, such a person can see distant objects clearlythrough a pinhole. Explain how this is possible?
It isn't possible
How do you see color objects?
you see coloured objects by the light. light makes the color of the object
What conditions can hinder the prove of the Pinhole camera model in real life?
Conditions like low light, extreme temperatures, and electronic interference can create problems for a pinhole model camera in real life. They are designed to see through a very small opening which creates problems not associate with more traditional cameras.
Why color objects s are the color they are?
The color is reflected by the light to your eyes. That is why you see color.
Why objects appear the color you see?
It appears the color of light it reflects.
Why are objects the color they are?
because whatever color you see is the color the object reflects in light.
How can we see objects and color?
You can see objects because your retina is sensitive to light and you eyeball can focus it. You can't "see" color - that's a frequency coding illusion that your brain makes up for you.
How is the image formed on the film of a camera?
In a camera, the light from the subject is refracted by the camera lens, and focused on the film or digital receptor inside the camera. The lens is taking the "large image" and shrinking it to a smaller size, and this small image becomes the digital image (or the negative image on film).How a Camera WorksA camera is any sort of light tight chamber (the word camera means "chamber" in Latin) with a pinhole or convex lens in one side. The lens is what "forms" the image on the opposite side of the camera. Your eyes are cameras! They are light-tight chambers with convex lenses which form continuous images on the retinas (light sensitive surfaces) at the backs of your eyeballs. Because of the way light passes through a pinhole or lens, the image is projected to the back of any camera upside down. This is just as true in your eye as it is in your camera! But, you protest, I don't see upside down! No, you don't, because your brain "flips" the image right side up as it comes from your optic nerve. Your digital camera does the same thing electronically before it delivers the image to your viewscreen.Sight, and your camera, works because objects reflect light. Even black objects reflect some light. Lighter colors reflect more. The pinhole or lens in any camera is gathering light as it comes reflected from a scene. The light reflected from the scene is scattering in all directions, but as light from what you see reaches the pinhole or convex lens in your camera or eye, you can try imagining that the light rays from the scene must bendand squash down (we say converge) in order to pass through the pinhole or lens. Inside, the light rays must cross, which is why the image projected to the back is upside down. If the lens is the correct distance (focused) from the back of the camera, the lens will form a sharp image on the side opposite the lens, which can be your retina, film in a film camera, or the sensor in a digital camera.There's lots more to know. See the Related Question, and be sure to check out the Related Link below. It has a fun, easy project for any age for making a pinhole camera that you can look inside and actually see the upside down image projected onto a translucent screen made of waxed paper.
What is the difference between a pinhole camera and a slr camera?
Most photographers would consider an slr to be "normal". If it's not an slr or a tlr, then you must be referring to a range finder camera or monorail camera. I presume range finder. Thus the major difference is that an slr system presents to the viewing eye pretty much everything that the lens is bringing to the film (minus the parts where the circular image lies outside the film rectangle). A range finder attempts to do this with a separate small viewing lens usually mounted on the camera face off to one side of the lens. The angle of view of the main lens is not the same as the angle of view of the viewing lens, which is usually not a problem. But if you are close enough to a subject such as a flower and you place the camera according to what you see in the viewfinder, you will be too far off to one side and will get less than the whole flower in the picture. This effect is known as parallax.
Why pinhole camera has infinite depth of field?
A major advantage of a pinhole over a simple (or not so simple) lens is "infinite depth of field." To see this for yourself poke a pinhole into a thin sheet of opaque material and hold the pinhole close to your eye (if you wear glasses, take them off). Hold one of your fingers a few inches in front of the pinhole and notice that your finger is about the same clarity as everything else beyond. That's infinite depth of field. A more or less scientific explanation for depth of field is that an optical image is made of of very tiny "circles of confusion." When the circles of confusion are small enough, they are called "points" and the optical image is considered to be in focus. Therefore, points of focus. A pinhole camera has infinite depth of field because the pinhole creates circles of confusion the same size as the pinhole all over the inside of the camera, and the little circles of confusion are small enough to be regarded as points of focus. These have a high enough resolution to be acceptable as a coherent image. Photographers can use a small aperture to increase the depth of field, but except for rather uncommon lenses, the depth of field is not very extensive compared to a pinhole image.Source: The Beginner's Guide to Pinhole Photography By Jim Shull
Can transparent objects can have color?
Yes, you can see a color when light of a certain wavelength reaches your eye.
