SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the interaction between blue light and a green filter. A green filter primarily allows green wavelengths to pass while blocking others, including blue light. In an ideal scenario, blue light would not be visible after passing through a green filter, resulting in a black appearance. However, real-world filters may allow some blue light to pass, leading to confusion about the perceived color. The concept of subtractive color mixing is also highlighted, explaining how mixing pigments can yield different visual results compared to light filtering.
