YELLOW!

--------------------

If you are using pigments, which are referred to as subtractive colors, like paint, crayons, etc, then you would get a shade of brown.

But, if you are using light, which are referred to as additive colors, like the ones used for TV screens, then you would get the color yellow.

When using acrylic paints, if you use a 3:1 ratio of red to green using cadmium red and phthalo green, you will get gray by adding varying amounts of white to it.

What color of colors of light does the green leaf absorb?

A green leaf absorbs most colors of light except for green; it mainly absorbs red and blue light. The green color we see is reflected light, making the leaf appear green to our eyes.


When white light shines on a green leaf why do you see green?

The green color of a leaf is due to the pigment chlorophyll, which absorbs most colors from white light except for green, which is reflected. This reflected green light is what our eyes perceive, making the leaf appear green.


When light strikes a green leaf how does this explain why leaves appear green?

Light that is white contains all the colours. When the light hits the leaf, it absorbs all the colours apart from the green light which is reflected back out to your eyes. So you see the leaf as green.


Is blue light absorbed or reflected by a green leaf?

Green leaves appear green because they absorb most colors of light in the visible spectrum, except for green light which is reflected. Blue light is absorbed by the chlorophyll in the leaf, contributing to the process of photosynthesis.


What make a leaf appear green?

presence of Chlorophyll in the cells of leaf reflects the green spectrum of light hence the leaf appear green.


Why does leaf appear green?

Why does a green leaf appear green in daylight and dark in red light?

A green leaf appears green in daylight because it reflects green light and absorbs other colors. In red light, the leaf appears dark because it does not reflect red light well, as it absorbs more of the red light. This phenomenon is due to the specific pigments present in the leaf that interact with different wavelengths of light.


Is the color of a leaf light relfected or light absorbed?

White light form the sun is made up of :-Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet colored light (as you see in a rainbow)When this white light hits a leaf, all the colors exceptGreen are absorbed by the pigments in the leaf.

What happens to green light an red light when they shine on a green leaf?

When green light shines on a green leaf, the leaf absorbs most of the green light and reflects some of it, giving the leaf its green color. Red light is not absorbed as efficiently by the leaf, so it gets reflected, making the leaf appear green under white light.


What color is absorbed by a green leaf?

A green leaf absorbs most colors in the visible spectrum except for green light, which is reflected. This reflected green light is what gives the leaf its green color.


What color does a green leaf appear to be in red light?

Black, obviously. The reason green leaves appear green is because when placed in white light, the leaf absorbs all the colors of the spectrum and reflects only green light. However, in red light, the leaf absorbs the red light but is unable to reflect any green light because there is no green to reflect. So, it appears black. Try watching green plants at night (or very low light conditions). That should give you a practical proof of the fact mentioned above.
