The sky is blue because water vapor in the atmosphere reflects the yellow from the spectrum upwards allowing the opposite color, blue to be perceived.
The grass is green because of the chemical chlorophyll.

If I were to paint them in a canvass, I have all the freedom to choose which colors they would be... for it is my painting.
The blue sky above and the green grass are all but the canvass of the great painter, greater than me.
Has He had not all the freedom to choose,
which colors they would be?
