I saw a similar question being asked here but I understood absolutely none of the responses so I’m gonna ask for myself.
I often hear people saying that only brown and orange pigments exist, and all other colors are caused by light bouncing/scattering off certain microscopic structures and then hitting our eyes.
What I don’t understand is how brown and orange can exist without being scattered light??
Like- “brown animals are brown because they have brown pigments, blue animals are blue because that’s the color their coat bounces back at you”
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE.
I’m sorry if I’m not explaining myself well.
In: Physics
Art and science have almost opposite definition of light and color
In science; a white light source contains all the different color wavelengths which we can separate with a prism
In art; a white paint or dye is unable to absorb and wavelength and bounces/reflects light back to you as white
In art; red is the act of absorbing all wavelengths except red……
So by being red; it’s actually configured to reject red
