What makes colour???

Question

In scientific details please.

Why do different objects have different colours?

Answer 1

The colour are just the rays of sun that are either being absorbed or reflected.

There are seven colours of rays as we know, VIBGYOR.

Suppose a thing which appears blue is because it absorbs all other coloured rays except blue one which gets reflected and the thing appears blue.

Answer 2

this should be under physics not chemistry as color is made by light. it is the visible spectrum, which is made visible to the eye when white light is broken down.

different objects have different colors depending on what colors they reflect n what colors they absorb. every object has certain particles inside it, pigments, that, when white light is shined on them, they reflect 1 color of the 7 visible ones, n absorb the other 6. for example, a red rose reflects red light and absorbs all 6 others. black is created when all colours are absorbed n white is created when all colours are reflected.

Answer 3

Wow! What a question. Ok, color is how our eyes and brains interpret the difference between various frequencies of light. We use three different types of light-sensitive pigments that react to different frequencies giving us humans excellent "Color" vision. Most animals have only two pigments but chimps also have three. Birds are gifted with a fourth pigment that extends vision into the ultraviolet range and greatly multiplying the possible range of colors and hues. That is why they are hard to fool with camoflage clothing as I have personally witnessed. Ask any duck hunter; a good hiding place is 100 times better than good camo.

Answer 4

color is the translation of the light which can be seen by the human eye in the human brain. colors come from the reactions of the light with the different atoms. whether a light hits an electron, it makes it move to an other layer. because this layer won't be stable, the electron comes back in different ways giving different colors.

Answer 5

Color is perceived because of the different wave lengths of the light spectrum and the structure of the eye with the way the brain interprets the information.

I say it that way because humans do not see the same way that other things see such as insects.

Answer 6

Color is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, yellow, white, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical quantifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.

In simple terms it is how your brain and eyes measure light and shade on objects.

Answer 7

Adding "u" to "color" . . . Hmm? ;)

I think you may find what you look for in the Encyclopedia Brittanica...or something like that. You're asking the wrong people. You may want your "scientific details" from an actual scientist, don't you think? Hmmm...yeah.

Answer 8

Color is the effect of light...colors may be absorbed or reflected by an object...what you see is the color reflected by a certain object and all other colors are absorbed...

Answer 9

Colour pigements

Answer 10

ALll colours comes from black.... dun believe me? you can do an expwriment on it.....
Spin a wheel that is black and white...fast..and you ll see the different colours...
