Hey there fellow earthlings, have you ever wondered what happens when you mix colors together? Well, I, your friendly neighborhood funny person, am here to tell you all about it! And to make things even more exciting, I’ve got some free printable rainbow coloring pages for kids to enjoy.
Let’s talk about rainbows
First things first, what exactly is a rainbow? It’s a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when light is dispersed through water droplets in the air. Basically, it’s a beautiful arch of colors in the sky that makes everyone feel happy.
But what colors make up a rainbow? Glad you asked! A rainbow always consists of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Remember this with the acronym ROY G BIV - easy peasy, right?
The magic of colors
Now let’s get into how colors work. When light hits an object, certain wavelengths get absorbed and others get reflected. The colors that we see are the ones that are being reflected back to our eyes.
When you mix colors, you’re essentially mixing wavelengths of light. For example, when you mix red and blue, you get purple. This is because red and blue wavelengths are being absorbed and the leftover wavelengths that are being reflected back to our eyes create the color purple.
But things can get even more interesting when you start getting into complementary colors. These are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel - like red and green, or blue and orange. When you mix complementary colors, you get a neutral color like grey or brown.
Let’s get coloring!
