Color Chart Blog

Anywhere people look we can see colors. Can you imagine a universe without colors? Absolutely Everything would look the same. Light is required to see colors. Do you remember the last time you looked into a dark room. You may have seen shapes,shadows,outlines, but everything looked very gray.
Light is made up of millions of colors. When light is refracted, it breaks down into 7 different wavelengths or colors. These colors are the colors of the rainbow – red, blue, indigo (dark blue/purple), orange, yellow, green, and violet. This is called a spectrum.
A spectrum is created when light is refracted or bent by passing through a clear material like glass or clear plastic. When you see a rainbow, you are actually seeing light shining on millions of raindrops as they fall from the sky. When the sun hits the drops of rain, it turns into the 7 colors of the spectrum. The colors are then reflected back to your eyes, and you see the rainbow.
Colors can tell us many different things. Traffic lights always use red to mean stop! What does the leaves changing color mean – When you see someone with red cheeks, What do you think? Colors can also make us feel a certain emotion or mood. Blue can be considered to be calming, yellow is thought of as lively. We also prefer to see objects in their correct colors. Does a big helping of purple and orange pizza or green and yellow steak sound tasty?
Its a sad thing that some people in the world are color-blind. This means that they may be able to see some colors, but not be able to others. Can animals can see colors? Guinea pigs cant. They see everything in light and dark shades of gray. Cats and dogs are able to see shades of green or blue. Most Snakes and Bees can see colors that are invisible to the human eye.
