The industrial revolution in England (the black smoke form all the factory chimneys) produced allot of environmental pollution and the trees in the worst affected areas were covered in soot. Now thankfully this pollution has ceased and the tree trunks are no longer black...I understand that the areas of black peppered moth variants are now reverting to the light colored variety.

The industrial revolution
Burning of coal during the industrial revolution and later deposited soot on the trees.
The peppered moths of England underwent directional selection following the Industrial Revolution. Prior to the pollution caused by industrialization, lighter-colored moths were more common and better camouflaged on the light-colored tree trunks. However, as pollution darkened the tree trunks, the darker moths had a survival advantage and their population increased.
Etiolation is a lack of color in the complexion caused from illness or lack of light.

Sabalbai, also known as the Sabal palm, typically has a light green to dark green color in its fronds. The stems or trunks are usually a grayish or brownish hue. Overall, the color can vary slightly depending on the specific species and environmental factors.
color disortion from lenses is called chromatic aberration
NO2, nitrogen dioxide, is typically reddish-brown in color. This color is caused by the absorption of light in the blue region of the spectrum.
The sky's blue color is caused by Rayleigh scattering, in which shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than longer wavelengths by molecules and particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This results in blue light being dispersed in all directions, giving the sky its blue appearance.
The change in tree trunk color from light to dark can be attributed to factors such as exposure to sunlight, moisture levels, and the age of the tree. Sunlight can cause bark to darken over time due to the production of protective compounds, while damp conditions may promote the growth of fungi or lichens that alter the appearance. Additionally, as trees age, their bark often thickens and changes color due to natural processes, resulting in a darker appearance.
First, you must understand that all color is determined by red blue and yellow light in different combinations. Any color is caused by light being reflected off the object. A red object for example reflects red light, and absorbs blue and yellow.
It's caused by light being broken into its different colours by the transition through the plastic layer.
