The reason why something is a color is basically becuae its NOT that color. That is or for instance... A stop sign is red or a filter is red..... A stop sign is red or a filter is red because they have to ability to absorb nicely and completely every single color in the rainbow except red. Red they cannot do. Can't do red. That stop sign was Out-a school the day they taught "red". When it comes to red its just dead. Red bounces off harmlessly like a reject. And then what do you do? You say that stop sign is "red". I think a stop sign should be known as "not red". As that's what it is Not what it's not. Or the other way around I'm confused. Better read then dead.
