Color is a visual perception that results from the interaction of light with the human eye's photoreceptor cells. It is the quality of an object or substance that we perceive through our sense of sight and is a characteristic property of light. The color of an object is determined by the wavelengths of light that it absorbs, reflects, or transmits. Colors can create different feelings and emotions and are often used to convey meaning and express creativity in various forms of art and design.
