also expanding on that
we have true colors
and flat colors
true colors are the ones in light
but objects have flat colors, reflected lights
so to make that more clear
objects don't have color in the dark bc there's no light to make flat colors and since there's no flat color for the object to have it is colorlessI find that difficult to understand well
so like
true colors our eyes can't really differentiate (and I THINK, but I'm not certain, prisms split light, and the colors of the rainbow are true? I'm not totally sure they are true colors. They might be). They're just all in light
Or, I guess, technically if you have a blue light then you're seeing true blue
but like
my red lipstick is a flat color. The pigments in the lipstick absorb every true color except red, which reflects back as a flat color
