TEXTURE
Color is the visual effect that is caused by the spectral composition of the light emitted, transmitted, or reflected by objects.
COLOR
Color originates in light.
Sunlight, as we perceive it, looks colorless.
In reality, all the colors of the spectrum are present in white light.
COLOR
1. All the" invisible" colors of sunlight shine on the apple.
2. The surface of a red apple absorbs all the colored light rays,
except for those corresponding to red, and reflects this color to the human eye. Environment & Perception also play into our interpretation of this color.
3. The eye receives the reflected red light and sends a message to the brain.
COLOR
When light hits the surface, the BLUE paint ABSORBS all the light EXCEPT the blue part of the spectrum.
