The colors you choose to wear might also say something about how you are feeling that day. How Do We See Color? There are 2 main sources of light that create the colors we see: the sun and lightbulbs. Surfaces reflect and absorb light differently, which results in the colors we see through our eyes. The colored light enters the eye through the pupil, goes through the lens, then reaches the back of the eye called the retina. Here you can see a basic color wheel.
Color: Meaning, Symbolism and Psychology Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world that is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere. The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology.
