For seeing color. Most humans have three types of cones tuned to red, green, and blue. Your brain mixes these signals to "create" the millions of shades you see every day.
Each color has a specific wavelength. Red has the longest (about 700 nanometers), while violet has the shortest (about 400 nm). The Physics and Chemistry of Color - The Fiftee...
When light hits an object, the chemicals in that object (pigments or dyes) absorb certain wavelengths. The colors that aren't absorbed are reflected back to your eyes. A green leaf absorbs red and blue light but reflects green. For seeing color
The Physics and Chemistry of Color: The Science Behind the Spectrum Each color has a specific wavelength
On a molecular level, color happens when photons strike electrons. If the photon has the right amount of energy, it "kicks" an electron to a higher energy level. The specific energy gap of that molecule determines which color we see. 3. Structural Color: Nature’s Glitter
Color is the perfect marriage of the physical world and chemical composition. Whether it’s the paint on a canvas or the glow of a digital screen, it’s all just energy and atoms putting on a show.
Should we dive deeper into recreate these colors using pixels, or
