Seeing as grass is green, PETANDPEZ would have to say that the colour reflected is green. However, when you see BROWN grass, green light is still being reflected only at a much lower intensity.

The green color is reflected and the other colors are absorbed


What is it about reflected light waves that enables us to see different colors?

When white light, which contains "all colors" of light, strikes an object, that object will absorb some light and will reflect some light. The colors that are not absorbed will be reflected, and those reflected colors will make up the color of the objects. Let's look at an example. If white light strikes grass, most of the green is reflected, and the reds, oranges, yellows and blues are absorbed. That's why the grass appears green to us. The grass could be said to be a "green reflecting" material. Red reflecting materials appear red, and blue reflecting materials appear blue. Further, different combinations of reflected light allow us to see the many variations in color and in color intensity that we are able to detect.


Why do things have color?

Objects have color because of the way they interact with light. When light strikes an object, some of the light is absorbed and some is reflected. The reflected light is what we see as color. The specific color we perceive is determined by the wavelengths of light that are reflected.


Why grass appears green?

Grass appears green because it contains a pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs most wavelengths of light except green, which is reflected back to our eyes. This is why our eyes perceive grass as green in color.


Why is grass seen as the color green through human eyes?

The perception of color is due to the reflected light. When light falls on a blade of grass, it absorbs all the electromagnetic waves in the visible spectrum, except green light, which it reflects. This reflected green light falls onto the rod cells of our iris, which perceive it as green.


What color can you see when you look at an opaque object?

It depends on which frequencies are reflected off the object.


What colors is most reflected violet red black or white?

-- Violet is most reflected by things that look violet, like pansies.-- Red is most reflected by things that look red, like fire engines.-- White light is the mixture of all colors. It's reflected most by thingsthat reflect all colors, like chalk and white shirts.-- Black is not a color. It's the absence of light of any color. Things that absorblight of every color and reflect no light of any color look black.


Why is grass green in color?

All plants contain the molecule Chlorophyll which is used by most plants in the process of photosynthesis. This Chlorophyll molecule absorbs Red and Blue light to use the energy from these wavelengths leaving green light to be reflected. It is this reflected green light that makes the leaves of plants look green.


How is color reflected?

Color is reflected when light strikes an object and some wavelengths are absorbed while others are reflected. The reflected wavelengths determine the color that our eyes perceive. Objects appear white when all wavelengths are reflected, and black when all wavelengths are absorbed.


When you see colors what color is reflected and what color is absorbed?

Black is absorbed! White is reflected. :)


What does buffalo grass look like?

What makes up color?

Color is actually the color of the light wave that gets reflected from a surface.For example if a car is red, a red color light is reflected from the car and the remaining 6 colors are either absorbed or partially reflected.
