Well, why do you call it a red shirt ? Could it be because it absorbs all colors of light except red,

so that when white light shines on it, all colors except red soak into the shirt, and red is the only

light left to travel from the shirt to your eye ? If that is so, then what happens if no red light

shines on the shirt ? Is there any light left to travel to your eye ? No ? Well then, what color

do you see if no light travels from the shirt to your eye ?

I hope Socrates would be proud.

Why does a blue t shirt look blue in a white light?

A blue t-shirt appears blue in white light because it absorbs most colors of light in the visible spectrum and reflects back predominantly blue wavelengths. This means that the blue wavelengths are not absorbed by the dye in the fabric but instead are reflected off the fabric and into our eyes, making us perceive the t-shirt as blue.

Medium blue, patterned if the shirt is plain. I wouldn't go blue on blue... same colors rarely complement each other. Consider a silver, black, orange, or even green tie, depending on the shades.
