differently; this difference in perception can be due to color blindness, differing sensitivity to light, or
macular degeneration
pigment correct answersThe substance that imparts color to another substance. Color is perceived when
light strikes a surface that contains pigment. The pigments in objects cause some wavelengths to be
absorbed and others to be reflected, thus giving the surface its color.
