I was wondering why it is that I see the things I do. The ocean seems simple enough light from the sun hits sun and all colors are absorbed except blue so I see blue. (What makes the sea blue I don’t know) however let’s say it’s dusk how come I can see trees which are in shadows and the sun isn’t directly hitting them. Is light reflected off the clouds which then shines on the objects in my vision? What properties of objects makes it to they absorb certain Coralie and reflects others.
Another thing how do different color lenses affect the colors I perceive and why?

Yes the light can reflect off of clouds, the grass, every object reflects a little light, which is why you can see things not in direct light.
>What properties of objects makes it to they absorb certain Coralie and reflects others
It has to do with electrons in atoms. Essentially different colors of light are light wiggling at slightly different speeds. When light hits an object, if the atoms can’t wiggle at that speed, the energy is absorbed.
>Another thing how do different color lenses affect the colors I perceive and why?
If you use a red lense, only red light gets through. Objects that don’t reflect any red light will look black.
