A brown color is a color

combination of red, orange and green--those colors are not adjacent

in the visible colors of a rainbow so they do not combine to form

a visible brown. The colors which normally make up the BROWN color,

however, ARE ALL PRESENT in a rainbow, but are not present in the color

combination we call brown.

Note: I found this statement in the Ask a Scientist Physics Archive at

http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/phy99/phy99125.htm On a computer or TV display, brown is generated as a sort of dim yellow or orange.

The color with the wavelength is?

Color with the wavelength is a characteristic of light that corresponds to a specific range of electromagnetic spectrum. Different colors have different wavelengths, with red having the longest wavelength and violet having the shortest.


What is lavender color wavelength?

The color lavender is a combination of purple and white, with a wavelength range around 380-450 nanometers. It is perceived by the human eye as a light shade of purple with a slightly pinkish hue.


Is brown the color after red in the emission light spectrum?

The next wavelength is infrared which can be considered as heat. My physics instructor told me that brown does not occur on the electromagnetic spectrum, since no combination of other color wavelengths can create it. The "color" brown is created by the brain as a filler. That means brown is imaginary in a way. This shouldn't be SO shocking, since the brain does other things to our vision like invert the picture so what we see is not upside-down. It makes me wonder though...when we see brown, there has to be SOME wavelength coming into our eyes, but not within the visible light range. What wavelength should brown be, then? There you go: an answer, but an even harder question that comes with it!
