Do colours exist in the dark ?

I would say no - depending on what exactly you mean by dark. Colour is light of a specific wavelength, so in darkness there can be no colour.

If you mean 'in what our human eyes perceive as darkness' then yes, sort of. Our retinas have cones of cells receptive to colour but only when a certain number of photons per second strike them. So it is possible for there to be 'colours' that are just too dim for us to see in that light level, that would be detectable by instruments or other creatures.

The answer is no, not if you have an absolute absence of light.

Reason is: Our perception of color is caused by the reflection of light from the object. That is the color we "see". The object absorbs all the other colors of the spectrum. Without light there is no spectrum to reflect and/or absorb. Our eyes are capable of discriminating between different wavelenths of light. There are three things necessary in order for color to be seen:

1) A source of light.

2) An object to view.

3) An eye or two.

If any of these are missing, the color does not exist.

NO it takes light wavelengths to see the colors themselves. In a black room the colors would combine and become absorbed. If u see white,that is the reflection of all light waves that bounce off of the cornea of the eye. If there is no reflection off of the eye, there is no color. That is why people with eye damage can't see anything but darkness.

No. It is the light that shows the colours, although there are various colours that will retain their colour for quite some time as they absorb light. ( I am talking about the stuff on the hands on a wrist watch.)

Yes I Get The Feeling Too

No - colours are determined by which of the spectrum colours are not absorbed by the object when it is in the light. Therefore no light = no colour.

shade exists in all mild. look at shipwrecks - with out seek lighting fixtures fixtures, we would not see them. shade isn't misplaced in outer area or on the sea floor. colorations are in basic terms affected while doing laundry.

Hi Cheers, Colours only exist when you can see them. Therefore the answer to your Question is NO!!

No,,colour only exists because they reflect that colour when white light is shone upon them,a blue chair is only blue because it reflects the blue light within the spectrum

Not in absolute darkness. Colors are a reflection of light. No light = no color.
