A beam of white light is made up of all the colours in the spectrum. The range extends from red through to violet, with orange, yellow, green and blue in between. But there is one colour that is notable by its absence. Pink (or magenta, to use its official name) simply isn’t there. But if pink isn’t in the light spectrum, how come we can see it? (via)

There’s a pretty lengthy explanation, regarding wave lengths, and how your brain processes those wave lengths and translates them to color. If you’re a science junkie or wizard, then I think this just may be your forte.

I thought this would translate to an important lesson that I’ve learned in life.

Sometimes, what you see is not always reality. Often, reality is just your own perception of it. Your own paradigm. One event can be seen in many ways by many different individuals. This is why we have the glass half full and glass half empty type of individuals. This is why you have negative and positive people. And this is why we have those who look at an item and create their own reality. Because the world is what you make of it, reality is what you make of it as well.
