Color: A mere illusion but we knew it as ‘color’!

We need to be aware of our misunderstanding of beliefs to develop a solid conscious ability. In human perception, there are a lot of misbeliefs existing till now. Very few have walked through this. The Rigveda is an ancient collection of Vedic Sanskrit hymns that primarily deal with cosmology, and light and color-related hymns are in the Rigveda.
An English mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton, first proved (in the 17th century) that white light is a segment of seven colors by a prism. Since then many different types of research have been established across the color sense. Being digital globalized citizen, I understood there are no more discoveries left, but our needs are already switched. We all need the clarity of those revealed truths by which individual efforts for the flow will develop our living system.
It has been proved through vast research that “Color is associated with optical illusions”. Color is nothing but the reflection of the light waves to the human eyes that are not absorbed by an object or a body, or colors are visible light waves to human eyes that create a perception of an image. Although It is easy now to state the definition with my observation and modern study following technology; “understanding an illusion is not a quick search”. Primarily, the nature and properties of light are the primary concern in understanding colors. The science of colors is called chromatics or colorimetry.

Let,s take a short theoretical tour with “light” -

Light:

The study of light is known as optics. Primarily, we knew light is energy. Through time there are nature, properties, and applications of light. Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Light consists of photons, produced when an object's atoms heat up. Light travels in waves and is the only form of energy visible to the human eye. Light is made up of photons like tiny packets of energy. When an object's atoms heat up, photons are produced from the movement of atoms. The hotter the object, the more photons are produced. Light energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves. Light energy is very fast – in fact, nothing travels faster.

Light rays always move in straight lines in a homogeneous, isotropic medium. This is referred to as rectilinear light propagation technically. When light travels, “Absorption”, “Reflection/Transmission”, and “Scattering” are three phenomena that allow our eyes to see the color and shapes of objects.

A brief about light for color-sense tells us that the colors are the colors of the Sunlight, naturally, a mere illusion.
One of the most intriguing psychological phenomena is the sense of color. As partially experienced in black-and-white photos, a world without colors appears to be missing the sun. The absence of the sun directs a completely virtual life where survival depends upon technological factors with greater uncertainty. Colors are associated with many research fields; like “Time”. As an example in science and engineering, students learn the color code system of the resistor to identify the particular resistors need for circuits.
Let's walk together with an example to understand the simple wonder we believe.

During the daytime, we see colorful surroundings but on nights or in the absence of light - what color it seems to you? I felt and understood it was just the night color. Amazingly, the philosophy and my journey of finding answers gave me a deep understanding of color and its behavior in human action and animal action, and my understanding of nature is improved with that present color sense.

Conclusion:

A clear understanding of color can change observational dimensions who yet not clarified the color sense. The arrangements of my thoughts will help you to develop your realization power. It is stated that color is a mere illusion.
