Are there colors that humans can't see, and if so, what are they?

Yes, there are colors that humans cannot see because our eyes are limited to perceiving a certain range of wavelengths. Some examples of colors that are beyond human vision include ultraviolet and infrared.


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.

What process produces different colors we see in opaque objects?

Can you explain if there are colors that humans can't see?
