Color

[Type Username Here]

So, we all know that when it comes to observing color, we actually take in the spectrum of light (in regards to specific wavelengths) that is reflected out back at us.

So I was thinking, when we observe a "blue" object, that object is "composed" of everything BUT "blue".

So it's essentially blue and not blue at the same time.

Except in the cases of black and white. So an object is truly black, but never truly white, is that correct?

I think color is our explanation of what we perceive. A blue object changes color under different lights. Its only blue under white light.

Good point.

Lets say you have a blue piece of paper. That means that all the wavelengths of visible light is being absorbed by the paper except for the blue wavelength which reflects back to your eyes. Your eyes see it as blue because it is the only color wavelength the reflects back to you. A black piece of paper means that all the wavelengths of visible light is absorbed by the paper - no wavelengths reflects back to you so there is no color or see. A white piece of paper means that all the wavelengths of visible light is reflected back to you - no color is absorbed by the paper but you cannot identify the individual colors unless you have a prism so you see it as white.

so what you're saying is the color white is strictly ?

No, I understand the physics behind it.

I'm mainly making a philosophical observation about the concept of perception.

"The object is blue" is not really accurate but it is at the same time.

Thank you for uploading the vid. I have heard before that Jordan is a jerk to people. The way Cham tells the story seems so real - that is some pretty cool emotion the way he told the story. You cant make that stuff up the way his body language was telling the story. Karma is a be-itch for Jordan which is why his Bobcats suuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

"we see the object as blue"
