How do we see color?
• Different colors have different energies– Low energies = red – High energies = violet
• Photoreceptors : cells on retina of eye– Cells receive light and release a chemicals to brain

• 2 Types:1. Cone cells see color • 3 types: Red, Green, and Blue (RGB)
2. Rod cells see brightness• Only see black, white, and gray• Work at low light levels
– Why most things look black or white at night

Additive Color (RGB)
• 3 colors are red, green, and blue (RGB)• Start with a black background• Add lights to add color• Equal amounts of all three get white color• Different amounts for any color– R&B make magenta (purple)– R&G make yellow– G&B make cyan (sea green)

Subtractive Color (CMYK):
• Light reflected off pigments on a white background
• 3 subtractive primary colors – yellow, magenta, and cyan (CMY)– K = black
• Pigment of the object affects the light that is absorbed:
• Cyan absorbs R and reflects B&G• Magenta absorbs G and reflects R&B• Yellow absorbs B and reflects R&G

• What you see is light being reflected– Absorb all light look black– Reflect all light look white
• Example: Green Plant– Green is reflected while all other colors are
absorbed– Photosynthesis • Plants need sunlight, H20 and CO2
• Takes place in chlorophyll • Plants need all lights but not green• If only a green light is shined onto a plant, the plant will
die since no energy is absorbed

Why is the Sky Blue?
• Shortest l colors (BIV) get trapped and scattered in upper atmosphere (atm)

Sunsets/Sunrises
• Light rays have a longer path to travel in atm– Shortest l reflected off (GBIV)– Longest l come through (ROY) • Lights are scattered in atm
