A surface will absorb some or all of the different light waves and reflect some or none.
A surface will absorb some or all of the different light waves and reflect some or none.
Consider different surfaces (reflective / shiny, or matt) when looking at different effects of lighting at different times of the day.
Also consider coloured glass, coloured lights, sunlight, and moonlight.
All these factors in a room will create different colours and thus emotional responses.
lets experiment -
If you shine a light through green and red cellophane it will create a yellow light. There is no blue primary light about.
We see the yellow and the other colours are absorbed.
so if you use a yellow light fitting it will create yellow light - the other colours are absorbed.
enjoy the colours reflected under the sunlight!
Shining a yellow light through blue will be black!
The green and red are absorbed and the blue is not in the equation - yellow light doesn't contain blue light
black walls absorb all the colours nothing is reflected unless it is a shiny surface and some white light is reflected.
Shining a yellow light through green cellophane will be green
The red is absorbed, the green goes through and the blue is not in the equation - yellow light doesn't contain blue light
Shining a yellow light through red cellophane will be red
The green is absorbed, the red goes through and the blue is not in the equation - yellow light doesn't contain blue light
