Light Color and Seeing

Where did all the colors go?

Sunlight–reflected and refracted–paints an ever-changing color composition.

Explore images made from shadows.

A thin window of soap creates an ever-shifting array of colors.

Surround yourself in color—do you feel a shade different?

Your visual system uses edges to detect differences.

Blend your face with a friend’s.

Color is in the eye of the beholder.

Can you tell the difference between black and white?

When your eyes adapt to color, you can see things that aren’t really there.

Make yourself the center of attention—and reflect.

Not all shadows are black.
