COLOR

Color is the aspect of things that is caused by

differing qualities of light being reflected or emitted
by them.
• To see color, you have to have light
• When light shines on an object some
colors bounce off the object and
others are absorbed by it.
• Our eyes only see the colors that are
bound off or reflected
