Cool. That’s the COLOR. Now, show me a brown colored laser pointer.

It cleary says light as a wavelenght. By your own photospectometer of you’d like to see it. I used to do colour testing in a lab.

Brown doesn’t exist. It’s deep orange.
Pratai@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Brown as a color exists, but not as a light.

Light is the medium through wich colour is observed. Aince u cant have brown light u cant have brown colour.

Yep. Keep watching. He goes on to explain WHY there is no brown light.

I’m not disagreeing with you, just providing further information.

If Trump would have had his way…

Not sure why you say that. With the right filter, you can project a light of any color. What makes you think brown is special?
CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 10 months ago
So far as I understand, brown isn’t really a proper wavelength of light on the spectrum (there are a number of colors like that actually), rather, it’s a dark orange. So if you made a brown colored translucent filter and shone a light through it, you’ll actually get orange light, just presumably less of that light making it through than from a more saturated orange. It’s sorta like saying you can get black light by putting a black filter over a light projector: you’ll get black at the projection area I suppose if no other illumination is there, but there would be no black light, you’d just get that color by blocking the light entirely.

Go ahead and try it. Take a picture even. It’ll come out orange- bet me.

Riddle me this: if there’s no such thing as brown light, how do you see the color brown on your phone screen?

Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There’s no such thing as color, anyway.
Witchfire@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Brown is just dim/desaturated orange. Orange lighting will make a room look brown, though the light itself will be orange/amber
Pratai@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Which is pretty much my point.
Witchfire@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You could say the same about literally any dark color. Maroon, dark green, navy, black…
