it only reflects green light its actually colourless. nothing has any colour unles you shine a light on it... (obvious to you perhaps)
when i was younger about a year ago i thought the grass was green even at night.and youd see the green grass when the lights came on ..like youd see your hand perhaps when you put the lights on.
its obvious now. all the clours of the rainbow within the white light bounce off or are absorbed by certain materials. like in 3ds max .
also light is invisible . unless it is directly aimed into your eye from the side 45 degress 10 degrees ..it is totally invisible ..that means there is a hell of allot of light we are not seeing.

it is funny how something like that can seem so profound when you think about it one way, but so simple when thought of another.
is the grass green even at night? that could be a noodle cooker i guess. in a subtractive sense, i'd say yes. do you think of grass as being black at night, and green in the day? that seems almost silly because the grass never changes. it is 100% the same grass when you turn the light off or on. I'd say green exists because of a relationship between your eye, the light, and the grass. Without any one of those things, green could not exist.

All colors exist, always. Just as the infrared or ultraviolet spectrums are always there. Whether or not our eyes can perceive a given spectrum is pure coincidence. In other words, the physical world is pretty static, it is our perception of it that is limited and/or changing.

Last night I had two bottles of Red Wine, and this morning they came out the other end Black, so Freqy must be right.

right, the color spectrum always exists, the wavelengths and frequencies always exist, but does green always exist? green exists in your mind, the light and its spectrums are out there. the same wave/freq will always create the same colors, so in that sense you're right 520–570 nm will always generate green. is it green if you don't see it though?
i guess i was getting at more of a tree falling in a forest kind of thing, carry on.

That guy, Feynmann, is pretty cool
I usually hate science and scientists, but he is just an everyday, easygoing guy, with ssrta childlike curiosity.
Thanks for brining him to my attention, Freqy. =)
