How Color Works

Join Josh and Chuck as they dive deep into the fascinating world of color perception and explore how we actually see the rainbow. The hosts break down the science behind why that red apple looks red (spoiler: it's not actually red!), explain how our eyes work with specialized cone cells to detect wavelengths of light, and walk through color theory concepts like complementary colors, additive versus subtractive color systems, and why certain color combinations create visual harmony while others are total eyesores. They also touch on some wild historical facts about how pigments were made throughout history and tackle classic questions like why the sky appears blue.
