why are red lit texts so much easier to read while blue lit texts seem to get a lot blurrier when far away?

Question

i guess another way to put it would be why do red lights tend to be sharp even if they’re far away but blue lights tend to scatter all over the place when its far away?

Red light waves are longer and therefore don’t suffer as much distortion over distance as short blue wave light. It’s also why the sky turns red during a sunset. The longer red waves are the only ones making it to your eyes through the thicker atmosphere the sunlight has to travel through as it gets lower in the sky
