Color is described as a property of objects that depends on the light they reflect and is perceived by the human eye as red, yellow, blue, or other shades. This property is called what?

• A. Texture
• B. Color
• C. Density
• D. Scent

Answer: (B)

Color describes how objects look under light because of the light they reflect and how our eyes perceive those reflected wavelengths. When a surface reflects certain wavelengths and absorbs others, our visual system interprets those signals as a specific color, like red or blue. For example, a surface that reflects red light and absorbs others will appear red to us. Texture, density, and scent refer to surface feel, heaviness, and odor, respectively, not to color.
