Imagine light is like a rainbow made of invisible colors. Our eyes have special parts called cones that catch those colors and send messages to our brain, telling us what we see. Some people can see more colors than others because their cones work in different ways. It's how your eye turns the world into colorful pictures!
Examples
- Grass appears green because it reflects green light and absorbs red and blue.
- The sky looks blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light more than other colors.
