Thread 🧵

An object's appearance starts with which wavelengths it reflects/absorbs under the incoming light.

But the key insight from author's piece (and vision science in general) is that color isn't 'in' the object or even 'in' the light spectrum itself.

My fav two things on this subject: pink and magenta colors are not "real", and there are negatives of each color, i.e. you look at a bright red object for a while and when you close your eyes same shape in negative colors has an afterimage in us.
