The world of colors is a world full of secrets and beauty, some secrets closer to the truth and some of them stranger than the imagination , but do we really know much about it ?
Here are 10 amazing facts about colors .

1) Where colors come from :

I tried not to start with this shocking fact but now it is considered to be familiar in physics and you have to know it , she says that the colors do not exist in reality but are the product of our brains , every object in the universe around us emits light that the eye receives through its light sensitive cells and sends it to the brain that analyzes it and gives each light its own color according to the wavelength of that light to help the person explore what is around it .

2) Easier color :

The easiest color is the red color, where the brain can distinguish it more quickly than any other color and the reason is the length of the wave, making it easy for the brain to handle the signal quickly and that is why the red color is the first color that attracts the attention of the baby in his first week .

4) Black color :

The nature of the black color is still mysterious and there is a vision that the black color is nothing but the absence of colors or in other words the absence of light , this can be seen through the color of the shade , which is also the color that we see when we close our eyes because of preventing light from entering the eyes .

5) Colors affect our perceptions :

All the human senses are processed through the brain so it is not surprising that there is a kind of relationship and mutual influence between the senses , tests have proved that our taste of beverages is affected by a limited amount of color of the cup that contains the drink.
Another experiment shows that a box of colored black is filled with a certain weight seems heavier than a green box filled with the same weight means that the colors affect our perception and our interaction with what surrounds us .

9) Blindness of colors :

There are 3 light receptors in the eye, one for long wavelengths, one for medium and one for short wave, or one for red, one for green, and one for blue .
These receptors receive light at certain rates and send it to the brain, which translates it into colors according to the wavelengths of the lights coming from the eye , color blindness occurs when one or more receptors fail to detect their light, which means that the brain can not produce the color associated with that light .

10) Wrong belief :

In bullfighting, many believe that red color is what makes the bull angry, but the truth is that what angers him is to move the wrestler for the scarf in a certain way and not the red color , the secret of their choice to the red color is intended to hide blood stains scattered from the body of the exhausted bull to show those practices less savage .
