8 x 10^-7 meters; Red around7.8x 10^-7 meters. All the rest fall in between the limits I showed you. Thats all!#2 Your dont really have prism eyes, even though Ur lense (any lense) is a modified prism.......

In short, the different wavelengths of color are detected by cone cells on the retina and are relayed to the optic center of the brain where they are interpreted.

Two quickie Answers:

#1. Define colors as light of a given wavelength. Blue light falls around 3.8 x 10^-7 meters; Red around 7.8x 10^-7 meters. All the rest fall in between the limits I showed you. That's all!

#2 Your don't really have prism eyes, even though Ur lense (any lense) is a modified prism. What you do have is color receptors on cones in the retina. They react in complicated ways to a colored light being shined on them, and then they have to pass that 'info' up to Ur brain for interpretation. Sometimes retinal fatigue w/these light stimulations cause interesting side effects as ghost colors are perceived and the brain gets a slew of 'goofy' signals that it has to make sense out of.

No. It is because our eyes are able see the wavelengths of visible light which includes the colors Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo. And yes the colors that we see are the colors reflected.

color is simply light which bounces of objects but it bounces differently of each object that's why there are different colors. There is no way of describing a color.
