Why is blue rarely found in nature? Red is a symbol of love or red in the interior Red is the color in nature.
Good day!
Let's talk today about the meaning of red and its use in the interior.
Red value
Red is a vibrant and warm color. It is associated with love, warmth and comfort. Red is also considered an aggressive and annoying color.
In nature, red is the color of abundance, the color of ripe berries and tomatoes, the color of rubies and pomegranates, the color of poppy.
Throughout years red was used for festive tablecloths because it evoked warm feelings and warmed those at the table.
Red is beautiful and red is expensive. For this reason, until recently, the curtains and seating in theaters were red. V medieval Europe brides at the wedding dressed in red dresses.
In America, red is a symbol of love; in China, it means kindness, luck, honor, wealth and a holiday, in India red is the color of life, creativity, inexhaustible energy.
In Russia, red is the color of struggle, aggression, and active actions.
Red attracts wealth. In Japan, there is a belief: for good luck and prosperity to come to your home, you need to keep the front door in perfect order and hang a red apple on it.
It is good to plant at the entrance to the house Red flowers.
Red is a stimulating and energetic color, but if you look at it for too long, it can cause not only irritation, but also aggression.
Red color in the interior
Red can be used for different purposes in different rooms.
In the kitchen, the red color promotes awakening, a charge of vivacity, stimulates appetite, improves mood and physical tone.
Red also enhances the sense of taste: Foods and drinks in red dishes seem tastier and more flavorful. 
In the living room, it is better to use softer and more calm cherry, raspberry, wine-red colors. They will create a cozy environment.
The red color in the living room will emphasize luxury interior.
The bedroom should not be decorated in red, because there we want to relax, rest and fall asleep faster.
Do not decorate rooms with south-facing windows in red colors. They heat up quickly in the bright rays of the sun, and the red color enhances the sensation of heat.
Should be avoided a large number red in very small and confined spaces, as red shrinks space.
Visible light is only a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition, this spectrum includes radio and microwaves, infrared and ultraviolet radiation, as well as X-rays and gamma rays. And only the visible spectrum is captured by our eyes, only we interpret it as colors!
In reality, blue differs from, for example, red exclusively by the frequency of oscillations of electromagnetic waves. At the same time, radio waves are too low for us to see, and gamma rays are too high. With the basics sorted out. Now let me present to your attention some interesting facts about light and various colors and shades in nature.
Visible light spectrum
Passing through the prism, the white light "splits" and forms a spectrum
In fact, light is invisible energy that travels through space at a tremendous speed - 300 thousand kilometers per second. For us to be able to see it, the light must pass through the smallest particles of dust, smoke or water vapor (clouds or fog). In addition, our vision can pick up light rays if they fall on any solid object (on clothes, a wall, a tree or even the moon), reflect from it and fall on our retina.
Isaac Newton first noticed that when passing through a prism, a light beam is refracted, forming a spectrum of colors, which are always arranged in the same order: from red to violet.
Our retina is made up of two types of light-sensitive cells called rods and cones. The rods are responsible for determining the intensity and brightness of light, while the cones perceive color and sharpness. Cones, in turn, are divided into three more types. Each of them has maximum sensitivity to the red, green or blue part of the spectrum. These colors are considered basic; and when they are combined, secondary ones are formed, such as yellow, blue or violet. By a similar principle, thousands of other shades are formed that we see every day.
Light and darkness
Light and darkness are inseparable
V late XVIII century German scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe found out that if you look through a prism at a dark object located on a light background, then a colored glow will be observed around it. Its right half represents the transitions between white, yellow, red and black, the left half - between blue, cyan, white and black. When these two areas are superimposed on each other, an inverted spectrum is formed.
Color is such a contrast between dark and light. On one side of the spectrum, we observe warm shades (yellow and red, which turn into black and white), on the other - on the contrary, cold shades (blue and blue, alternating first with white and then black).
You have probably noticed more than once that the sun sinking beyond the horizon turns reddish, and the color of the sky changes from blue to orange. These changes are due to the fact that when our star is low above the horizon, its rays pass through denser atmospheric layers. When bright light is darkened by passing through a medium with high optical density, we perceive it as red.
If you look in opposite side, you will notice that blue sky takes on a dark blue or even purple color. These tones are at the opposite end of the spectrum in relation to red.
Colored shadows
In fact, all shadows are the same - gray!
If you look at a window for a few seconds during the day and then close your eyes, you will briefly see its negative image - a light frame and a dark middle. The situation is similar with other brightly lit colored objects. Each color has its own "negative" shade: red has cyan, green has magenta, and blue has yellow. When you close your eyes, instead of light, darkness appears in front of them. The afterimage of the images you saw remains, but the colors are reversed.
If you point two different light sources that are close to each other at a vase, it will cast two shadows. If one source emits blue, its shadow will also appear blue, and the other will appear yellow. In fact, both shadows are the same, gray. The fact that they seem different to us is a consequence of an optical illusion.
What color do the items actually have?
Items do not have such a constant characteristic as color.
The color of objects we see is determined by the lighting conditions. Let's say you have a green T-shirt. At least for daylight it looks green to you. But what happens if, for example, you find yourself in a room with red lighting? What color will she have then? It would seem that when red and green merge, you get yellow, but in this case, clarification is necessary. We have red lighting and green dye on your shirt. Funnily enough, green is the product of mixing blue with yellow. And they do not reflect the red color. Therefore, your T-shirt will appear black! In an unlit room, looking at it, you will also see black color. In principle, the whole room will appear black to you simply because the objects in it are not illuminated.
Let's move on to another example. First, try answering the question, "What color does a banana actually have?" It would seem that the question could not be easier. But consider that when a banana is illuminated with white light, which includes all the colors in the spectrum we see, you see yellow simply because it is reflected while all other hues are absorbed by the surface of the fruit. That is, a banana can have any color, but definitely not yellow. Moreover, purely in theory, banana is blue, because this color is the “opposite” of yellow!
It is difficult to realize that objects, in fact, do not have such a characteristic as color. And all the variety of shades that we observe is simply the interpretation of electromagnetic radiation by our brain.
Pink doesn't exist!
Primary colors alternate with complementary
Look at the color wheel. You will see that the complementary colors in it alternate with the main ones. Moreover, any additional shade is formed by mixing the adjacent primary colors. Yellow is the fusion of red and green, cyan is green plus blue, and pink is blue plus red.
At the same time, there is no pink color in the rainbow! Do you know why? The fact is that it simply does not exist in nature! There is yellow, blue is, but pink is not, since red and blue are located at opposite ends of the spectrum we see. Therefore, they cannot intersect. Pink is the personification of everything that we cannot see in this world.
Vantablack
Incredibly, this black object is actually voluminous!
Girls know that black clothes make them look slimmer and give them elegance and sophistication. But have you heard of Vantablack - a substance made of carbon nanotubes, which is the blackest substance, known to science? It may sound strange, but the Vantablack is almost impossible to see, because it absorbs no more than 0.035% of the light incident on it.
British scientists created Vantablack in July 2014. This substance has many potential uses. So, they plan to use it to create supersensitive telescopes or stealth aircraft. Vantablack is also interesting to the sculptor Anish Kapoor, who believes that this substance will look very impressive if used as a paint to depict bottomless outer space.
People see shades differently.
For color blind people, red can appear blue or green.
Did you know that the red dress on that pretty girl over there may seem blue to someone or, for example, green? And which of them is right?
There are millions of people in the world who see the world in different colors due to a disease called color blindness. Some people are color blind, red, others blue or green.
Forbidden colors
I wonder why Belarus and Ukraine used prohibited color combinations to create their flags? :)
Red, yellow, green and blue colors in various combinations will help describe all other shades of the visible spectrum. For example, purple can be called red-blue, light green - yellow-green, orange - red-yellow, and turquoise - green-blue. But how would you call a red-green or blue-yellow color, just not mixed, but consisting of two tones at the same time, compensating each other in our eyes? Probably not at all, because such shades simply do not exist. By the way, they are also called "forbidden".
How do we perceive colors? The cones in our retina distinguish between red, green and blue tone by wavelength, which in some cases may intersect. That is, when the "green" waves are superimposed on the "red" ones, a person can see either yellow, or green, or red. Everything is determined by minor differences in wavelength. But there is no color at the same time green and red, or, for example, blue and yellow.
In 1983, English scientists Hewitt Crane and Thomas Piantanida did the seemingly impossible! After hundreds unsuccessful attempts they managed to recreate those unnamed colors. Scientists made images that consisted of alternating red and green stripes (as well as yellow and blue).
How animals see in nature
Dogs don't see red
You've probably heard more than once that all dogs are color blind. But this statement is not entirely true. There are three types of cones in the human retina, and one fewer in dogs. Therefore, in the world they see, there is no room for red.
The human body emits light
The human body actually glows, albeit very faintly
Scientists at Kyoto University have found that humans emit light. True, it is 1000 times less powerful than the one that we can see with the naked eye. They attribute this to the presence of by-products of our metabolism - free radicals that emit energy. The researchers also concluded that the peak of human luminescence occurs at about 16-00.
Even people with very rich imaginations cannot imagine any "non-existent" colors. And there are incredibly many of them, because we see only one hundred thousandth of the spectrum. We hope you now have something to think about before bed!

Classic Feng Shui is built according to slightly different laws. The main role in it is played by the Yin-Yang ratio and the interaction of five types of energies, which, for simplicity, are called 5 elements. They are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. They enter into certain relationships with each other. The most important for the use of flowers (on entry level application of Feng Shui) is the Circle of Generation. In this Circle, the elements interact favorably, alternately reinforcing each other.

Happy woman's world
We all know from the school article the technique of memorizing the colors of the rainbow. Something like a nursery rhyme sits deep in our memory: “ TO every O hotnik f wants s nat, G de with walking f azan ". The first letter of each word means a color, and the order of the words is the sequence of those colors in a rainbow: To red, O rank, f yellow, s green, G blue, with any, f iolety.
A rainbow occurs when sunlight is refracted and reflected by water droplets floating in the atmosphere. These droplets deflect and reflect light of different colors (wavelengths) in different ways: red is less, purple is more. As a result, white sunlight is decomposed into a spectrum, the colors of which smoothly transition into each other through many intermediate shades. The rainbow is the most illustrative example what visible white light is made of
However, from the point of view of the physics of light, no colors exist in nature, but there are certain wavelengths that an object reflects. This is a combination (superposition) of reflected waves, falling on the retina of the human eye, and is perceived by it as the color of an object. For example, green color birch leaf means that its surface absorbs all wavelengths of the solar spectrum, except for the wavelength of the green part of the spectrum and the wavelengths of those colors that determine its shade. Or Brown color the blackboard our eye perceives as reflected wavelengths of blue, red and yellow wavelength ranges of different intensities.
White, which is a mixture of all colors sunlight, means that the surface of the object reflects almost all wavelengths, while black reflects almost nothing. Therefore, one cannot speak of "pure" white or "pure" black colors, since the complete absorption of radiation or its complete reflection in nature is practically impossible.
But artists cannot paint with wavelengths. They operate with real paints, and even a fairly limited set (they will not carry with them in their easel more than 10,000 tones and shades). Just like in a printing house, an infinite amount of paints cannot be stored. The science of color mixing is one of the main things for those who work with images, including airbrushing. A huge number of tables and guides have been compiled for obtaining the desired colors and their shades. For example, these *:
or 
The human eye is the most versatile mixing device. Research has shown that it is most sensitive to only three primary colors: blue, red-orange, and green. Information received from the excited cells of the eye is transmitted along nerve pathways to the cerebral cortex, where complex processing and correction of the received data takes place. As a result, a person perceives what he sees as a single color picture. It has been established that the eye perceives a huge number of intermediate shades of color and colors obtained from mixing light different lengths waves. In total, there are up to 15,000 color tones and shades.
If the retina loses the ability to distinguish any color, then the person also loses it. For example, there are people who are unable to distinguish green from red.
Based on this feature of human perception of color, the RGB color model ( Red Red, Green green, Blue blue) for printing full color images, including photographs.
Gray color and its shades are a bit apart here. Gray is obtained by combining three primary colors - red, green and blue - in equal concentrations. Depending on the brightness of these colors, the shade of gray changes from black (0% brightness) to white (100% brightness).
Thus, all colors found in nature can be created by mixing the main three colors and varying their intensity.
