Light isnt one thing. It comes in a lot of different sizes. Even when it seems completely dark there is a lot of light going through you. Your phone uses light to talk to other phones and everything around us is always glowing a little bit with light we cant see.

Each color is just a specific size of light that our eyes can see.

These arent the real sizes but if all marble sized light was blue, then we would see golf ball sized light as blue and we would see pebble sized light as blue because they are close together in size. If basketball sized light was red, then we would see soccer ball sized light as red and football sized light as red because those ones are closer together.

The light is just the different sizes of balls. The colors are how your brain puts them together.

The balls are not actually red or blue. But your brain imagines them as red or blue. And that is what you see.
