Why do we see colors?

  • Answer:

    Light from heated or other sources interacts with the number of electrons in the materials to absorb or reflect certain electromagnetic frequencies and the photon of the wave lengths strike 3 different sensors cells in our eyes each reacting to a different range. Our brain interprets the signals to allow us to reliably decode the signals and (in most cases) come up with the same information as other people.
