Of what color is a mirror?
603186
Any material which may have a reflective surface may be said to be a mirror when it does -- be that a silver-backed glass mirror in the Versailles Salon de Glaces, a sheet of gold leaf on the ceiling of Catherine's boudoir in the Winter Palace, the polished bronze shield which allowed Perseus to see not Medusa but her reflection, an ancient Egyptian obsidian obelisk, the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall, the cornea of the human eye...

Early mirrors were usually a sheet of polished metal, often silver or copper, for example the Aranmula kannadi.\n\nMost modern mirrors consist of a thin layer of aluminium deposited on a sheet of glass. They are back silvered, where the reflecting surface is viewed through the glass sheet; this makes the mirror durable, but lowers the image quality of the mirror due to extraneous reflections from the front surface of the glass. This type of mirror reflects about 80% of the incident light. The "back side" of the mirror is often painted black to completely seal the metal from corrosion.\n\nSilvering is the chemical process of coating glass with a reflective substance, originally silver, in order to create a mirror. Today, powdered aluminum or other compounds are more often used for this purpose, although the process maintains the name "silvering

There are two aspects to color:  pigment and wavelength.  Pigment is an aspect of the object we're talking about when we say "what color is it?"  Wavelength is an aspect of light, which is made up of different wavelengths.  White light contains all the possible wavelengths.  \n\nWhen light hits pigment, some of these wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected.  A black pigment absorbs all the wavelengths; no color is reflected, so there is the absence of color--black.  When something looks red, it is because wavelengths in the red spectrum  of light are being reflected.  \n\nThings look different in different lights because not all light is white light.  Something will look different under a light bulb than under sunlight.\n\nLisaJay\n\nhttp://www.eclecticdetective.blogspot.com

Because the color of any object which does not emit light is really due to the effect of reflection, there are various ways in which color is "generated".\n\nThe color spectrum is Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.  Because the light emitted by the Sun is most intense in the Yellow part of the spectrum, we see Yellow as the brightest "color".  Go in any direction away from Yellow and we see darker and darker colors. \n\nWe see the color of an object as the summation of the light that is reflected by that object.  When a piece of cloth or paper is wet, it absorbs water which fills in the spaces between the fibers.  Water reflects mostly in the blue spectrum, so that adds to the total light which is reflected by the object.  This added blue light makes the total light appear "darker" to us since it "drags" the spectrum of refelcted light away from Yellow.

i think white is all the reflected light . apollo space mission pics show grey shades.

Look in the mirror!  What is it exactly are you asking?

I would say white.   I have never thought of that possibility, but white would make sense to me, due to the fact that if a chakra were over-energized, then that would mean that the color would be VERY INTENSE.  Dilute that vibrant color w/ subdued white!

Green I would imagine. Or brown.

Viewing one's own body\nA mirror is used for inspecting parts of one's body which are difficult or impossible to see directly, such as the face, neck or the whole body. This may be to check physical appearance (including clothing, make-up, hair, etc.) or to control applying make-up, shaving, cutting hair, fixing one's tie, etc.

The amount of light will not double, since mirrors only reflect about 80% of light that hits them (absorbing 20%).  It would be brighter in the room, though.  However, if you had a room full of mirrors on all surfaces, the room would be much brigher than a room full of black surfaces, since the light rays will be reflected rather than being absorbed by the dark color.

This could happen one of two ways:\n\n1) The mirror is made of another material than glass or the usual material used.\n\nOR\n\n2) The mirror has curvatures somewhere along the way creating a distorted image.\n\nHope this helps!

(1)mirrors reflect light because it has a shiny and reflective metal behind it.\n(2)camera lenses

not to give away one of my good ones BUT...Objects In Mirror May Be Closer Than They Appear.
