Question

subtracted/absorbed, and which colour(s) must be reflected. Draw a diagram showing how this
works,

Answer 1

Red apples get their color from anthocyanins. ... When we look at a red apple, it's absorbing colors from the sunlight. It absorbs all the colors of the rainbow—except for red. The red light reflects off the apple and our brain and eyes work together to let us know what color we are seeing.
