Color Blind

Is the color you see really the color your eyes and brain tell you it is? No. What!? Consider. If you look at a red car, the car is not really red. In actuality it is green. (The combination of blue and yellow.) What you are seeing are the light waves that have been reflected off of the surface. The other colors (blue and yellow) have been absorbed by the material. You are seeing cast off light rays of red light.

The same principle applies to all objects. A tree doesn't really have green leaves. They are red. But only in the spring and summer. In the autumn when you see the variety of colors such as red, yellow, orange and so on, you are seeing reflected light. In actuality, the tree leaves are absorbing such colors as green, purple, blue and more.

An isn't it interesting that when all colors of light waves are combined they make white light, but if you combine all colors of say paint, they make black?

Think. Ponder. See the light.
