I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN COLOR MAKES, WE ALL HUMANS. AM I RIGHT OR WRONG?

I agree with you and wonder why some people are Racist, too.\n\nI believe that racism arises when people get lazy and want to feel superior to others: It is easier for people to judge people based on the OUTSIDE of the person instead of taking the time to get to know the INSIDE of a person.\n\nIn fact, a vast majority of evolutionary/ biological/ psychological scientists argue against the definition or label of "race".\n\nIt is true that, genetically speaking there are certain similarities between ethnic subgroups of people but this does NOT change the fact that overall, we are the same (Homo sapien sapien) and we are all equal in the eyes of our loving Creator!\n\n:)

I like what people are saying about our perception of something being "colored" is based purely on the light reflected and absorbed by the object.  Something black absorbs all light (thus is colorless) which is why black clothing in the summer is a bad idea.  White colored things reflect all light which is why wearing white in summer is a good idea.  If there is NO light present than everything will be black.  If there is light present but at a frequency other than white (say red) everything will either be black and some will be red.  Does that mean that the world is composed of black and red things?  Of course not.  A great example of this is seen when one SCUBA dives.  In the water as you go deeper the colors of the spectrum begin to fade out as they cannot penetrate the water.  (I seem to remember that it starts at the red side, but I may be mistaken.)  Anyway, at 130 feet, say, if you were to look around everything would seem extremely dull, dark and colorless.  Does that mean that the fish and structure at 130 feet have no color?  NO!  Simply take a flashlight down and turn it on to reveal the vibrant colors of the deep.  It's not that there is no color, it's that the (sun)LIGHT can't reach it.

I don't understand it.  Why would people think anyone is different because of the color of their skin?  If you're white and you get a tan, does that change your personality?  No!  So why would being a different skin color mean anything?  Unfortunately I think there will always be racists...makes me sad.

Basically, Color, black and white are measured by the Cones and Rods in the back of you retinas.  And boy are there a lot of them.  But one eye might have a little more than the other eye  or there maybe more of them grouped in a certain location which may be the reason for the discreptancy.

Because the different monitors interpret colors differently.

I agree that everyone needs a little help sometimes. I ran into the same problem a few years ago, but wanted to develop a better sense of color instead of relying on a book to tell me what works better. I purchased a complete set of PANTONE fans and chip books so that I knew the colors I chose could be converted to CMYK and give me better color accuracy when printing. Plus you will have more freedom as far as color choice, you will have a better knowledge of colors and how they work together and you won't need any design references to help you out like the smart-aleek from the first answer.

Don't know what you are talking about but , different colors look different on different people, whether man or woman everyone has  a certain color that looks good with their skin tone or eye color.  You just have to experiment

The reason why people have problems with this concept is simply because they fail to understand the difference between a BIOLOGICAL reality and a CULTURAL reality.\n\nLook, if we wanted to we could group people by shirt colour couldn’t we? People with blue, green or purple shirts in one group, red yellow and orange in another and blacks, whites and greys making a third group? Do you agree that we could do that? We could then choose as a SOCIETY to teat those groups differently. We can tax them at different rates, throw them in prison whatever we like. \n\nWhat we have here is an example of a CULTURAL reality. The division of people by shirt colour is indisputably real. It indisputably has real effects on the real lives of real people. By any standard you like it is real. But do you also accept that such a division by shirt colour is not based in BIOLOGY? Do you accept that there is no common genetic thread amongst all the people in the green shirt group? Do you accept that it is perfectly possible for two people who are very closely related BIOLOGICALLY to be placed in totally separate shirt groups?\n\nWell, race is no different in any way at all. We have traditionally grouped people according to certain racial features. Those features were chosen at random, they are just as random as shirt colour. And they tell us no more about the person than shirt colour does. \n\nThat is what we mean when we state that race has no BIOLOGICAL reality. Black people are not closely related to one another. A random black person has a greater chance of being related to a White person or an Asian person than to another Black person. A White person has the same chance of being related to a black person as to another White. The only common feature held by Black people is the feature that we used to define them in the first place: black skin. That’s it.\n\nSo to answer your question, yes race is real. Nobody has ever denied that race is very, very real. How could you anyone possibly deny that race is real?  But race is CULTURALLY and HISTORICALLY real. It is not BIOLOGICALLY real.\n\n>>>>> Is the difference in skin colour and hair texture down to mutations\n\nIf you go back far enough, yes. But what  you need to realise that it isn’t just one mutation. There is no common skin colour gene found amongst all black people or all white people.  Heck, there isn’t even a common skin colour found amongst all the people we define as Black or White. That is precisely why race has no biological meaning.

OH YES! Color is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO important! Who cares if your kind or compassionate, when you can just look at somones skin! \n\n(Heavy use of sarcasm)

Your human and I bet beautiful, sounds like a great combo, who cares, I am mixed hispanic and swedish, I have no idea what I am, so on all paperwork I mark two ethnicities who cares!!  There is tooo much emphasis on who is what color, be happy!!!

ah, i actually remember thinking that once... i always had a lot of questions like that, always so curious about stuff... that's why im a physics major, it explains so much... actually, while we may not be tasting or smelling the same thing, we are all seeing the same colors.  this is because each color has corrosponding wavelengths and frequencies of light on the electromagnetic spectrum.  Only a very small portion of this spectrum is even visible light, and we all agree on that.  the colors you see from objects are just the wavelenghts of light that are not absorbed by that object, so therefore are reflected. so we are definately all seeing the same frequencies of light... its easier to understand with sound, if you pick different frequencies, it's a higher or lower pitch.  we can all definately agree on the pitches of sound because we can agree on whether or not the pith is higher than another pitch. if you pick a frequency on the electromagnetic spectrum in the visible light range, that frequency will correspond to a certain color. violet is the color with the wavelength of the highest frequency, meaning it has the highest energy(E=hf where h is planck's constant so energy is directly proportional to frequency.) red has the lowest frequency, and therefore energy. the colors go in order of lowest to highest energy as follows: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. it is is definate that what everyone views as violet is what has the highest energy, and what everyone views as red has the lowest.  and the colors as we know them, kind of blend into each other as you go up in energy, like starting with red you can have red orange and keep adding orange till you get to orange, then add some yellow and so on.. the colors blend nicely. if someone viewed lets say green instead of orange... well then red and green wouldnt mix so well now would they? if you think about it, the colors go "up" in energy steadily just as sound goes up in pitch steadily, so we do all view colors the same.  i hope i conveyed my thoughts properly and that made sense :)

First, the word is "affects" not "effects".\n\nI would call it "Touch of Color?"

I'm not sure about correcting entirely, but this site says it helps those who have color blindness distinguish colors...\n\nhttp://www.colorblind.to/glasses.html

Theoretically, the answer is no; all people do not see the same shade and intensity of color.  Color vision occurs as a result of specialized photo-receptors in our eye.  The number of these receptors can differ from person to person, and as a result, some people may be more sensitive to certain colors than others.  A simple way to test this would be to take freshly isolated retinas from various individuals (ie: laboratory animals) such that the photoreceptors (rods and cones) are still intact and expose the retinas to lights of different wavelengths (ie: colors) and intensities while simultaneously recording the neuronal output generated in response to the lights.  I haven't done such an experiment myself, but it is very logical to assume that no two individuals would respond the same way to the lights, since perception of the light stimulus depends on the frequency and duration of the activation of the receptor neuron as well as the number of receptor neurons activated and their distribution in the retina.

I agree, we are all human, and color and race have nothing to do with it, we are all the same, I'm white and I always have to stand up for myself....you wouldn't think so, but lot's of people say we think we are better than everyone else or that we are all rednecks...but I love everyone no matter what race, we are all God's people....it's great you stood up for yourself, i would of done the same..God bless

Lets break down the words "white people" and "black people" take out the colour what do u have PEOPLE IT DOESNT MATTER THE COLOUR OF YOUR SKIN IT JUST MATTERS OF WHAT KIND OF PERSON U ARE! WE ARE ALL PEOPLE. In this world we are all brothers and sisters nomatter what the colour

They are the same colors, because they are pigments they are additive colors, so when mixed in different amounts, they create the colors you see.\nThe colors you see on the screen, are made from different amounts, of colored light, which are Blue, Green, and Red. Mixed in equal amounts, they come out as white, when disabled they come out
