What is colour? That which we percieve as colour is merely the destorted reflection of light beams striking the surface of matter. Light beams strike a surface and the surface alters the wavelength of the light beams.
What is a mirror? A mirror is a medium that reflects the light beams that have already struck the surface of any matter infornt of it depending on the path of view of an observer.
Conclusion
- Matter has no colour and colour is an elusion created by the surface of matter. A mirror simply reflects an already destorted reflection without enfluencing the wavelength of the light striking it's surface. Only altering it's vector dependent on point of observation.
- Since we associate a particular colour to a given surface in error then with that same logic the mirror must therefore logically take the colour that which it is reflecting.
If we assign colour to matter based on the level of destortion a surface enduces on light then with that logic a mirror with no destortion on the light impacting it's surface can be said to have no colour.
The observer decides if any matter has colour or not.
hope that was not too complicated/simple an answer?
do they make pills for this?
