Color Perception
Color perception depends on the presence of
A light source
An object
An observer
Our perception of color involves light from a source interacting with an object and entering the
eye. The composition of the light and its interaction with the object will define the color we see.
Reflected Light
A reflective object absorbs some sections of the visible spectrum and reflects the rest. What we
see is the reflected portion. An object removing wavelengths at the ultra violet end of the
spectrum, for example, will appear red.
