Technically there is no such thing as colour. Say what? Its true. Humans use the lens in their cornea to help stream light into the brain. Light filters through the lens. When the light bounces off an object it returns a signal to the brain. The brain translates the message into whichever colour it "should" be.

Objects appear to be a particular color because they reflect some wavelengths of light more than others. A red apple is red because it reflects rays from the red end of the spectrum and absorbs rays from the blue end. A blueberry, on the other hand, reflects the blue end of the spectrum and absorbs the red.

We now know that color vision actually depends on the interaction of three types of cones-one especially sensitive to red light, another to green light, and a third to blue light. In 1964, George Wald and Paul Brown at Harvard and Edward MacNichol and William Marks at Johns Hopkins showed that each human cone cell absorbs light in only one of these three sectors of the spectrum.
