We see color that is bright, dull, exciting, chaotic, and harmonious.
We cross streets filled with color, make purchases because of color, eat, sleep, and drink color.
Some colors cause us to cheer (school colors)
Other colors cause us to cry, feel happy or depressed.

Color begins with light – either natural or artificial.
We see the sensation of color because we respond to different wavelengths of light.
We can see this when we examine a glass prism. The rays of light are bent or refracted as they pass through at different angles and are seen as different colors.
