Brown Sun

Did you ever thought that saying "color" people are usually mean light reflected from the things surrounding them. It is a property of matter to reflect only a part of the falling light and to absorb another parts. For example an orange is reflecting red and green light but absorbing the blue. Red and green light mixing together give us an orange color. But the light itself can have only definite amount of colors. It is the reason why you have never seen a brown star :) Another interesting fact is that yellow color seems more bright than white for us living on Earth revolving around the yellow dwarf. Human eye can percept only a part of a light spectrum. Here on the Earth are a lot of creatures much more sensitive to light and color, it means that their vision of world more colorful and bright than ours.

Sometimes i think that our perception of a colors is very subjective. Actually people without brain and eye diseases can percept colors differently. Normal people say the apple is green not because they experiencing the same feelings looking at the "green" apple. They say "green" because the color they see is called "green" by another people. So it's not about feelings, perception and physics, it's about symbols and systematization.

I wish you a colorful dreams!

P.S. Oh, i forget to show you the brown star:
