What are primary colors of light?

This Q&A is about light colours. Paint colours are substances, and different from light colours.If you hold up a glass prism to a beam of sunlight, you'll see the light form a rainbow of colours. This is called the spectrum. It consists of all the colours that make up "white" light.Although you might be able to see seven colours in the spectrum, the white light is really made up of three basic colours. These are called the primary colours because they cannot be made from any other colours. The primary colours of light are red-orange, green, and violet blue. The other colours you see in spectrums or rainbows are made by a mixture of the primary colours.When the naked eye looks at the spectrum, it can see three mixed colours, which are called secondary colours. The secondary colours in light are green-blue, yellow, and magenta-red. You can produce these colours by mixing the primary colours in certain combinations.


Which animals can see colours?

Many animals can see colors. Some examples include birds, primates, and insects. These animals have the necessary specialized cells in their eyes, such as cones, that allow them to perceive a wide range of colors.


Is it fair to say that if an animal is colourful than it is likely to be able to see colours?

Not necessarily. An animal may be colorful for reasons other than having the ability to see colors, such as for camouflage or mate attraction. The ability to see colors depends on the presence of specific cone cells in an animal's eyes, which may not always relate to their external appearance.

Can dogs be really color blind are scientist true or false?

True. Dogs are not completely colorblind, but they do not see colors as vividly as humans do. They mostly see shades of yellow, blue, and gray, and have difficulty distinguishing between red and green.

What colors can a koala see?

There is very little research on the colour vision specifically of koalas, but other research has identified that marsupials can see all the colours of the spectrum, and some types of marsupials can even detect ultraviolet, which people (and many animals) cannot see. Their eye structure has the necessary cones which allow the eye to see in full colour.
