the mirror only reflects light and produce image of other objects.
so what's the color of a mirror actually?

I think that technically it would have to be considered white. The colour of an object is determined by what wavelengths it doesn't absorb. A true mirror absorbs none, and white light is composed of all visible frequencies, so...lwymarie said:the mirror only reflects light and produce image of other objects.

Delta said:You could extend this to say what is the color of a piece of paper when in pitch black visibility, that would normally be white by day. Techinically the paper would be now black.
DaveC426913 said:Depends on who you ask. Animals can see well outside the human range of colours. Dogs see into IR, bees see into UV.
I would argue that they see them as colours.
Well, the primary colours are dependent on what type of receptors the eye has. Humans have red green and blue receptors, thus those are our primary colours.eNathan said:Your saying that Dogs can see Prime colors that we can't? Hmn, do you think that there would be any way in the future to make humans see more colors then? that'd be awsome
Apparently, this is a myth.rayjohn01 said:Actually it is thought that dogs can only see black and white ( i.e greys )
Ah, I would disgaree.rayjohn01 said:What anybody 'sees' including dogs we have not a clue -- we can tell what they react to -- dogs do not react to visual color differences --bees do react to ultra violet.
When you say 'see' you mean some sort of internal visualisation ( which we cannot share anyway ) so you could ask does a bee 'see' ultra violet -- like you could ask does a pigeon 'see' magnetic fields. Here the question is one of conciousness and that is still a compete mystery.

A mirror does not have a color. It reflects all colors of light, making it appear colorless.
Most mirrors are made with a layer of silver or aluminum on the back of the glass. This reflective material gives the mirror its silver appearance.
Yes, mirrors can have different colors depending on the material used to make them. For example, a gold mirror would have a yellowish tint due to the gold coating on the back of the glass.
No, mirrors can reflect colors differently depending on the angle of the light and the quality of the mirror. Some mirrors may have distortions or imperfections that can affect the reflection of colors.
No, a mirror cannot change its color. Its color is determined by the reflective material used to make it, and that does not change unless the mirror is physically altered or damaged.
