It’s Not Easy Being Green | Brain Games

take a look at this leaf what color is
it would you say it’s blue red green or
orange seems obvious right green but
actually it’s it’s request every answer
is right except one green wait how can
that be how is green the wrong answer
a leaf is unable to absorb green visible
light and so it reflects it back into
the environment and eventually into our
eyes your brain interprets that is the
leaf being green but in reality the
green light is really just bouncing off
the leaf so in a sense the leaf is
really every color in the world except
green if that sounds unbelievable we
don’t blame you but here’s the thing
reflectance means you will never see the
actual color of an object in your entire
life a yellow banana isn’t really yellow
a red stop sign is anything but red
black and white zebra who can say
they’re all just pigments of your
imagination
