The Physics and Chemistry of Color: The Science Behind the Spectrum
Not all color comes from pigments. Some of the most vibrant colors—like the shimmering wings of a Morpho butterfly or the "eyes" on a peacock feather—are caused by . Tiny, microscopic structures on these surfaces interfere with light waves, reflecting only specific, brilliant hues that shift as you move. 4.

When light hits an object, the chemicals in that object (pigments or dyes) absorb certain wavelengths. The colors that aren't absorbed are reflected back to your eyes. A green leaf absorbs red and blue light but reflects green. The Physics and Chemistry of Color: The Science
Color is the perfect marriage of the physical world and chemical composition. Whether it’s the paint on a canvas or the glow of a digital screen, it’s all just energy and atoms putting on a show. A green leaf absorbs red and blue light but reflects green
