From his investigation of the colors of thin films (Opticks, Bk. II, Pt. 1) Newton demonstrated (Bk. II, Part III, Props. 1-7) that the colors of bodies are produced in exactly the same way as they are in thin films, that is, that the corpuscles of bodies are just like little thin plates that, depending on their size and density, reflect light of some colors and transmit and absorb others. Thus, Newton believed that he could estimate the size of the corpuscles of a body from its color.

In studying Newton's theory of colored bodies it is important to recognize that the colors of bodies are for the most part compound and that the colors of thin films are also compound. For example, the most common color in the world, the green color of plants, according to Newton consists of green, some of the contiguous blue, and some yellow. If this light were passed through a prism it would be decomposed into a complex spectrum.

Since you really did not give enough variables in your question, it would depend on the answer to those variables. Like in daylight, the obvious common color, looking down at the earth would likely be green if you were in an agricultural environment with plants growing, in a desert environment, it might be mostly brown because of the dirt or sand; however, if you happened to be looking skyward, it could be blue--especially if it were a rainy day and the sky was gray or black. But the final test might just be when you enter outer space, and compare our fair Earth to the other planets, you would see why we call it the "Blue Planet," because it is due to the oxygen content in the atmosphere. There you might just have it--your answer after all! Neat!

This is easier than I thought, white is pure. Yet black defies color. There is always a night and always a day. So as long as we rotate we revolve around grey. Not enough said though for we are not dead. So serene as long as something is alive we will see green. Maybe you should have asked if their was no color what would what be? So if black is the absence of color why do we paint on a white canvas. Because you can't see in the dark and color does not matter. So the answer to this one is of course light.

i think of the assumption is cool; pets don't have a decision with regards to the colour of their fur, and that i will guess they need they might substitute it each so often. yet you rather would desire to call a vet & ask if hair dye for human beings is risk-free for canine beforehand you're taking that super step. they gained't can charge you for answering a question like that. in actuality, they are happy whilst human beings instruct look after their pets as human beings, and not purely some possession. That mentioned, for a small canine my vote is teal. a greater canine would look extra useful with a mix, like section pink & section gold for a woman, or electric powered blue & silver for a male.
