What color is a mirror?
(...and what is color?)
By Hayley Victoria Published 5 years ago • 1 min read
Light hitting the wall after passing through a crystal window in my in-laws house
What color is a mirror?
Is one grey
or silver
or green?
What color is the surface of a pool,
Or of the sea?
What colors are those glittering spots on undersides of butterfly wings?
What about the infrared our eyes can't see?
Color does not lie, and yet what is color to the eyes
that can't process rays of UV light?
What colors are the stars
Other than *bright*
And what about the vast array of shades making up the night?
What color is the feeling of joy
and
How did the blues come to mean sorrow?
What is color to the mind
To the nose
Or to the eye?
And why do so many people wonder about color to the blind?
