🌌Color is a perception and not a physical property. Our preconceived notions affect how we perceive color.
💡Light can be manipulated to become black by adjusting the background light.
🎨Paints use subtractive color mixing, while light uses additive color mixing.
🌈White is a combination of all colors of light, while black is the absence of light.
👀Because color perception varies between individuals, we can never truly know if we all perceive the same colors.
How does the experiment prove that light can be black?
—By manipulating the background light, the experiment shows that the same white light can appear black to our eyes.
Why do people perceive colors differently?
—Color perception is influenced by our individual preconceived notions and how our brains interpret the wavelengths of light.
Why do paints use subtractive color mixing?
—Paints absorb light, and when mixed together, they absorb more light, resulting in darker colors.
What is the difference between additive and subtractive color mixing?
—Additive color mixing, as with light, combines colors to create brighter light. Subtractive color mixing, as with paints, absorbs light and creates darker colors.
Can black and white be considered colors?
—Black and white are not true colors, but different shades representing the absence or presence of light, respectively.
00:00The video discusses the perception of color and challenges the notion that color is a physical property.
01:03An experiment is conducted using a phone's screen to demonstrate how background light can change white light to appear black.
03:04The concept of subtractive color mixing used in paints is explained, where colors absorb light to create different shades.
04:18The difference between additive and subtractive color mixing is discussed, highlighting how they result in different outcomes for light and paints.
06:39The video concludes by exploring the subjective nature of color perception and the uncertainty of whether we all see the same colors.
