  2. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    Color vision. Colorless, green, and red photographic filters as imaged by camera. Color vision, a feature of visual perception, is an ability to perceive differences between light composed of different frequencies independently of light intensity. Color perception is a part of the larger visual system and is mediated by a complex process ...

  3. Visible spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum

    White light is dispersed by a prism into the colors of the visible spectrum. The visible spectrum is the band of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light (or simply light). The optical spectrum is sometimes considered to be the same as the ...

  4. Color psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_psychology

    The general model of color psychology relies on six basic principles: Color can carry a specific meaning. Color meaning is either based in learned meaning or biologically innate meaning. The perception of a color causes evaluation automatically by the person perceiving. The evaluation process forces color-motivated behavior.

    1/3⁠. A quark ( / kwɔːrk, kwɑːrk /) is a type of elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei.

  7. Violet (color) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_(color)

    Violet is the color of light at the short wavelength end of the visible spectrum. It is one of the seven colors that Isaac Newton labeled when dividing the spectrum of visible light in 1672. Violet light has a wavelength between approximately 380 and 435 nanometers. [2] The color's name is derived from the Viola genus of flowers.

  8. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    Color of chemicals. The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the chemical. The study of chemical structure by means of energy absorption and release is generally referred to as spectroscopy .

  9. Color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    Color ( American English) or colour ( British and Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra, and interference. For most humans, colors are perceived in the ...
