It is my understanding that the colour orange that we see reflected from an object is due to the fact that some spectrum waves are absorbed and the ones that reflect from the surface make up the colour we see.
If black is the absorbtion of most wavelentghs and white is the reflection of most, why is it that orange is not considered what is absorbed not what is reflected. If the spectrums that would be absorbed were not present while My eyes were viewing an object and only the spectrums that would have normally been reflected are present, there would be no differance. Only when the spectrums that would not be reflected naturally does the object change colour. If I look at a clear lens tgat is orange in colour and I attach it to a flashlight that will deliver a full spectrum when the light is shined on a white surface, if eye see orange dot on the white, does this mean that all the other spectrum was trapped inside the flashlight or is it only the orange spectrum?
Do we see a colour or do we see the exact oppisite of such color?
