Yet we find scenery bathed in green or purple light or tints strange and otherworldly because we don’t generally see that from natural lighting.

We’ve grown to associate different colors with different moods or feelings, often because nature has condition+ed us that way. We usually think of blue tones as cold or cool, and red-orange tones as warm or hot. We associate blue light with nighttime and bright colors with daytime. But because we interpret light that way, we see many, often beautiful, distinctions in the world – the green of grass, the blue of a clear summer sky, the rainbow colors on a parrot, and millions of other things. It’s just our way of making sense of the light information which comes into our eyes. Color is simply the brain’s interpretation of different wavelengths of visible light. Color doesn’t really exist outside our brains. We live with color every day, but we don’t often consider what it really is or how it works.

It might seem strange to ask what color is everyone knows that, right? Sort of.
