Where did the color red originate?

Asked by Wiki User

I am guessing that red originated from China because that is the roofs of most Chinese houses and buildings and things like these. Red is the most famous color in China.

Does the color of a wine bottle have an effect on the wine itself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, light can alter the chemical content of the wine and alter its flavour and colour. If you leave your clothes out in the sun they will fade, a similar process is involved here.

However light coloured bottles which let more light through will not be a problem if you intend to drink the wine soon. If you are planning to cellar wine for a long time you will need a dark coloured bottle, or a dark cellar.

What color is Nessie?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About halfway through the Deeprun Tram, at the bottom section of glass tubes, you can glimpse a large monster named "Nessy." This is a reference and nickname for the legendary Loch Ness monster, which the World of Warcraft monster resembles.

Because the Deeprun Tram is its own instanced zone (similar to a dungeon or battleground), you cannot find Nessy nor the environment outside the glass tunnel anywhere else in the game world. The glass is impassible without exploiting, so there is no way to interact with Nessy other than targeting it.

Some people say thay got to Nessy by charging through the glass (as a warrior) but that is still in question, and even if you do you will most likely get banned.

How can you see the aura color of someone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can find clubs to go too and they have the equipment to do it. You have to have a darkened room, you are standing in front of a dark back-drop, and they use an ultra violet light (sometimes a black light). It's amazing. No one has the same color of aura. When we get angry our aura goes red and splits up into small jagged specters such as the Northern lights and when we are happy or sad the aura changes again. I found it facinating. If you look at paintings of Jesus you will see he has only an aura around his head (no one has that) us humans have complete auras around our bodies. Yours pets, plant life and every living thing has an aura. You can also go into any specialty book store that carries crystals, stones, etc., and ask them where you could find someone that can read auras. This is nothing new and as I said before it's being used in medical science to help find health issues in patients quicker than tests. In the future I have no doubt that this will be the way the medical profession will go (and it costs less for the medical insurance and the patient.) Please go onto: www.google.com TYPE IN: All about auras You will see an actual diagram where they have cut a wide leaf in half, but when you put it under the right conditions you can actually see the green part of the leaf, then the energy of the aura of the rest of the leaf. Technically, the leaf is still in one piece! Marcy

A deaf man kissed a blind man's wife and a dumb man seen it then how the dumb man tells to that blind man that a deaf man has kissed his wife?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The dumb man can write it down on a piece of paper or use gestures to communicate to the blind man that the deaf man kissed his wife. Another option could be to ask a third party to relay the message to the blind man on the dumb man's behalf.

Why are there more colorblind males than there are colorblind females?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Colorblindness is a trait that is linked to our X chromosome - it's a sex-linked, recessive trait that is attached to the X chromosome.
For males, the 23rd pair is XY, and for females, XX.

The trait for colorblindness lies on the X chromosome and can either be dominant or recessive. (For my example, we'll just say X' for recessive and X dominant for simplicity's sake.)

Females have the advantage of having two X chromosomes. I won't go in to specific detail, but the possible combinations of chromosomes for females would be XX, X'X, XX', and X'X'. Only with X'X', would a female be colorblind.

As for males, they only have one X chromosome, and the combinations are XY or X'Y.

As you can see, the chances of colorblind males are much, much higher due to having only one X-chromosome, which is why you'll find more colorblind males than colorblind females.
Of course, there is much more to it than just that, but that goes way beyond the scope of what I can remember. And I'm not too much in the mood of reopening my genetics textbook. ;)

Who is more apt to color blindness - males or females?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Genetic red-green color blindness affects men much more often than women, because the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome, of which men have only one and women have two. Such a trait is called sex linked Females (46, XX) are red-green color blind only if both their X chromosomes are defective with a similar deficiency, whereas males (46, XY) are color blind if their single X chromosome is defective. This sentence means that if both of the X chromosomes women are reccesive ten she has a color blindness trait. If the X chromosomes has one dominant X and one reccesive trait then she doesn't have the color blindness trait. The people who have color blindness trait are called a carrier.

Why is colour blindness more common in males?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The genes that produce photopigments are carried on the X chromosome; if some of these genes are missing or damaged, color blindness will be expressed in males with a higher probability than in females because males only have one X chromosome (in females, a good gene on only one of the two X chromosomes is enough to yield the needed photopigments).

Is white a color or the absense of color?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In additive synthesis (light), White is a combination of all colors (Red, Green, an Blue)... In subtractive synthesis (pigment), White is the absence of all color.

Of course, white is not really a color at all, but is used as a color reference.

A person can technically argue that black and white are the same, because neither one is a color of itself, and both are the combination of all colors, but don't expect anyone to believe it (they are exact opposites).

Are albino people color blind?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They have an inability to absorb pigment anywhere in their bodies, this would include their eyes. In our eyes, the fovea is the main source of 'sight' since it allows us to se details and color. An albino's fovea is usually underdeveloped, hence making them anywhere between mildly colorblind, to completely blind.

ANSWER:

well i am albino, people always ask me this. myself i am not colorblind. but it can vary
