    Then why does the page I have quoted "define" it.

    I can quote things too, mate:

    Source?


    "Key Aspects of Physical Color Physical Property: Color is >>>>>>>>>>> considered a physical property because it can be observed >>>>>>>>>>> without causing a chemical change in the substance.

    Which doesn't say it is spectral.

    Note, the following seems to be a new entry.

    So, that defined VISIBLE spectrum, not physical color

    Which has nothing to do with physical color.

    Another quote:

    ""Physical color" refers to the color of an object as an
    observable, inherent property that can be seen and measured
    without changing its chemical composition. This property is
    determined by how the object's material interacts with light, >>>>>>>>> specifically which parts of the visible spectrum it absorbs and >>>>>>>>> reflects. For example,

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible
    spectrum of light waves, then black and white are outcasts and
    donrCOt count as true, physical colors." --
    https://www.britannica.com/story/are-black-and-white-
    colors

    There, a real credible quote from a credible source. Now shut the >>>>>>> f--k up and f--k off.

    /Flibble


    And that article ends in:

    If you include in the definition of color, however, all of the ways >>>>>> in which human eyes process light and the lack of it, then black and >>>>>> white,
    as well as pink, earn their places in the crayon box.

    Even the section you are quoting qualifies its statement with:

    It depends on how you want to define color. If color is solely the >>>>>> way physics describes it, the visible spectrum of light waves, then >>>>>> black and white are outcasts and donrCOt count as true, physical
    colors.


    So, only *IF* you are defining color spectrally (the way physics
    describes it) do you get your results.

    So, your source is admitting it isn't giving a diffinative
    definition.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same was I used
    it.
    I told you to f--k off -- you lost the argument and all you have now >>>>> is just noise.

    /Flibble


    No, your source is pointing out that there are multiple ways to define >>>> the term, and you only match the more restricted and niche version of
    it.

    Maybe you should learn to follow your own advice and admit you were
    wrong.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And points out that it also can have the other meaning.

    Sorry, you are just misreading your test.

    You don't seem to understand the rules of linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am using
    it you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And admits it isn;t the only meaning for it, and that is in fact an odd
    usage of it, and isn't the primary meaning of it.

    Sorry, when your source disclaims it being definitive, you lost your case.

    It seems you sense of reality is off, look who started the thread
    calling Pink not a physical color.

    A guess you are just admitting you don't know what you are talking
    about.

    That would be a case psychological projection mate as reality is that I
    said pink is NOT a physical colour whilst you said it is. Take your
    f--king medication.

    /Flibble


    Maybe you should, as I am using the word as it is typically used:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    The physical color of an object depends on how it absorbs and scatters
    light.

    Kind of sounds like you are describing a "material" and how it acts in a
    ray tracer/marcher or something. Are you saying that a photon should be white, aka all colors. So it can "hit" a material and give off the "infinite" spectrum of colors? Some of which are pink?

    No, but "Physical Color" describes how it deals with all different
    frequencies of photons. After all, photon do come in all different frequencies, so appear to be different colors, and the physical
    properties affect all of them, possibly differently.





    Thus, physical color is NOT about individual photon frequency, and
    thus NOT spectral color.

    No it isn't.

    /Flibble


    Then why does the page I have quoted "define" it.

    I can quote things too, mate:

    Source?


    "Key Aspects of Physical Color Physical Property: Color is >>>>>>>>>>>> considered a physical property because it can be observed >>>>>>>>>>>> without causing a chemical change in the substance.

    Which doesn't say it is spectral.

    Quoting somethiing that doesn't support your claim doesn't >>>>>>>>>>> help your position.

    Note, the following seems to be a new entry.

    Visible Spectrum: The colors we see are part of the visible >>>>>>>>>>>> electromagnetic spectrum."

    So, that defined VISIBLE spectrum, not physical color


    Pink is not part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. >>>>>>>>>>>
    Which has nothing to do with physical color.

    Another quote:

    ""Physical color" refers to the color of an object as an
    observable, inherent property that can be seen and measured >>>>>>>>>> without changing its chemical composition. This property is >>>>>>>>>> determined by how the object's material interacts with light, >>>>>>>>>> specifically which parts of the visible spectrum it absorbs and >>>>>>>>>> reflects. For example,
    a blue substance has a physical color because its material >>>>>>>>>> absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects blue
    wavelengths, which then reach our eyes."

    Again: pink is not part of the visible spectrum. You are proven >>>>>>>>>> wrong yet again, mate. Lrn2science.

    /Flibble


    But you do get pink with a slight absortion in the non-red part >>>>>>>>> of the specturm.

    Nothing says we are looking at mono-chromatic light.

    Sorry, the fact you just fail to provide sources shows you
    likely have something to hide.

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible
    spectrum of light waves, then black and white are outcasts and >>>>>>>> donrCOt count as true, physical colors." --
    https://www.britannica.com/story/are-black-and-white-
    colors

    There, a real credible quote from a credible source. Now shut the >>>>>>>> f--k up and f--k off.

    /Flibble


    And that article ends in:

    If you include in the definition of color, however, all of the
    ways in which human eyes process light and the lack of it, then
    black and white,
    as well as pink, earn their places in the crayon box.

    Even the section you are quoting qualifies its statement with:

    It depends on how you want to define color. If color is solely the >>>>>>> way physics describes it, the visible spectrum of light waves,
    then black and white are outcasts and donrCOt count as true,
    physical colors.


    So, only *IF* you are defining color spectrally (the way physics >>>>>>> describes it) do you get your results.

    So, your source is admitting it isn't giving a diffinative
    definition.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same was I used >>>>>> it.
    I told you to f--k off -- you lost the argument and all you have
    now is just noise.

    /Flibble


    No, your source is pointing out that there are multiple ways to
    define the term, and you only match the more restricted and niche
    version of it.

    Maybe you should learn to follow your own advice and admit you were
    wrong.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And points out that it also can have the other meaning.

    Sorry, you are just misreading your test.

    You don't seem to understand the rules of linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am using
    it you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And admits it isn;t the only meaning for it, and that is in fact an odd
    usage of it, and isn't the primary meaning of it.

    Sorry, when your source disclaims it being definitive, you lost your
    case.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am using
    it you lying c-nt.

    Then why does the page I have quoted "define" it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I can quote things too, mate:

    Source?


    "Key Aspects of Physical Color Physical Property: Color is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> considered a physical property because it can be observed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> without causing a chemical change in the substance. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which doesn't say it is spectral.

    Note, the following seems to be a new entry.

    So, that defined VISIBLE spectrum, not physical color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Pink is not part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which has nothing to do with physical color.

    Another quote:

    ""Physical color" refers to the color of an object as an >>>>>>>>>>>>> observable, inherent property that can be seen and measured >>>>>>>>>>>>> without changing its chemical composition.

    /Flibble

    There, a real credible quote from a credible source. Now shut >>>>>>>>>>> the f--k up and f--k off.

    /Flibble


    And that article ends in:

    If you include in the definition of color, however, all of the >>>>>>>>>> ways in which human eyes process light and the lack of it, then >>>>>>>>>> black and white,

    And points out that it also can have the other meaning.

    You don't seem to understand the rules of linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am

    And admits it isn;t the only meaning for it, and that is in fact an

    Sorry, when your source disclaims it being definitive, you lost your
    case.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am using

    /Flibble





    And says that this isn't the only possible defintion of it, thus saying
    the other defintion is also valid, and thus can't be excluded.

    You just don't understand the linguistics.

    Yes "colour" is ambiguous which is why I QUALIFIED it >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> with the word "physical" which obviously referred to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it being spectral.

    /Flibble


    But it doesn't. If you meant spectral, you should have >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> used the word.
    The problem is that "Physical Color" is actualy a term >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> of art with meaning.

    No it isn't.

    /Flibble


    Then why does the page I have quoted "define" it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I can quote things too, mate:

    Source?


    "Key Aspects of Physical Color Physical Property: Color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is considered a physical property because it can be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> observed without causing a chemical change in the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> substance.

    Which doesn't say it is spectral.

    Quoting somethiing that doesn't support your claim doesn't >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> help your position.

    Note, the following seems to be a new entry.

    Visible Spectrum: The colors we see are part of the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> visible electromagnetic spectrum."

    So, that defined VISIBLE spectrum, not physical color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Pink is not part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which has nothing to do with physical color.

    Another quote:

    ""Physical color" refers to the color of an object as an >>>>>>>>>>>>>> observable, inherent property that can be seen and measured >>>>>>>>>>>>>> without changing its chemical composition. This property is >>>>>>>>>>>>>> determined by how the object's material interacts with >>>>>>>>>>>>>> light,
    specifically which parts of the visible spectrum it absorbs >>>>>>>>>>>>>> and reflects. For example,
    a blue substance has a physical color because its material >>>>>>>>>>>>>> absorbs certain wavelengths of light and reflects blue >>>>>>>>>>>>>> wavelengths, which then reach our eyes."

    Again: pink is not part of the visible spectrum. You are >>>>>>>>>>>>>> proven wrong yet again, mate. Lrn2science.

    /Flibble


    But you do get pink with a slight absortion in the non-red >>>>>>>>>>>>> part of the specturm.

    Nothing says we are looking at mono-chromatic light. >>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Sorry, the fact you just fail to provide sources shows you >>>>>>>>>>>>> likely have something to hide.

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible >>>>>>>>>>>> spectrum of light waves, then black and white are outcasts >>>>>>>>>>>> and donrCOt count as true, physical colors." --
    https://www.britannica.com/story/are-black-and-white-
    colors

    There, a real credible quote from a credible source. Now shut >>>>>>>>>>>> the f--k up and f--k off.

    /Flibble


    And that article ends in:

    If you include in the definition of color, however, all of the >>>>>>>>>>> ways in which human eyes process light and the lack of it, >>>>>>>>>>> then black and white,
    as well as pink, earn their places in the crayon box.

    Even the section you are quoting qualifies its statement with: >>>>>>>>>>>
    It depends on how you want to define color. If color is solely >>>>>>>>>>> the way physics describes it, the visible spectrum of light >>>>>>>>>>> waves, then black and white are outcasts and donrCOt count as >>>>>>>>>>> true, physical colors.


    So, only *IF* you are defining color spectrally (the way >>>>>>>>>>> physics describes it) do you get your results.

    So, your source is admitting it isn't giving a diffinative >>>>>>>>>>> definition.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same was I >>>>>>>>>> used it.

    /Flibble


    No, your source is pointing out that there are multiple ways to >>>>>>>>> define the term, and you only match the more restricted and
    niche version of it.

    Maybe you should learn to follow your own advice and admit you >>>>>>>>> were wrong.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am >>>>>>>> you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And points out that it also can have the other meaning.

    Sorry, you are just misreading your test.

    You don't seem to understand the rules of linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am
    using it you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And admits it isn;t the only meaning for it, and that is in fact an
    odd usage of it, and isn't the primary meaning of it.

    Sorry, when your source disclaims it being definitive, you lost your >>>>> case.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am
    using it you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble





    And says that this isn't the only possible defintion of it, thus
    saying the other defintion is also valid, and thus can't be excluded.

    You just don't understand the linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble





    And says that this isn't the only possible defintion of it, thus saying
    the other defintion is also valid, and thus can't be excluded.

    Lie. Search for the term "physical color" in my source and you will only
    find ONE match; so I repeat yet again (and will continue to repeat until
    it sinks in):

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    But it doesn't. If you meant spectral, you should have >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> used the word.

    No it isn't.

    /Flibble


    Then why does the page I have quoted "define" it. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    I can quote things too, mate:

    Source?


    "Key Aspects of Physical Color Physical Property: Color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is considered a physical property because it can be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> observed without causing a chemical change in the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> substance.

    Which doesn't say it is spectral.

    Quoting somethiing that doesn't support your claim doesn't >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> help your position.

    Note, the following seems to be a new entry.

    Visible Spectrum: The colors we see are part of the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> visible electromagnetic spectrum."

    So, that defined VISIBLE spectrum, not physical color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Pink is not part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Which has nothing to do with physical color.

    Another quote:

    ""Physical color" refers to the color of an object as an >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> observable, inherent property that can be seen and measured >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> without changing its chemical composition. This property is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> determined by how the object's material interacts with >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> light,

    Again: pink is not part of the visible spectrum. You are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> proven wrong yet again, mate. Lrn2science.

    /Flibble


    But you do get pink with a slight absortion in the non-red >>>>>>>>>>>>>> part of the specturm.

    Nothing says we are looking at mono-chromatic light. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible >>>>>>>>>>>>> spectrum of light waves, then black and white are outcasts >>>>>>>>>>>>> and donrCOt count as true, physical colors." --
    https://www.britannica.com/story/are-black-and-white- >>>>>>>>>>>>> colors

    There, a real credible quote from a credible source. Now shut >>>>>>>>>>>>> the f--k up and f--k off.

    /Flibble


    And that article ends in:

    If you include in the definition of color, however, all of the >>>>>>>>>>>> ways in which human eyes process light and the lack of it, >>>>>>>>>>>> then black and white,
    as well as pink, earn their places in the crayon box.

    Even the section you are quoting qualifies its statement with: >>>>>>>>>>>>
    It depends on how you want to define color. If color is solely >>>>>>>>>>>> the way physics describes it, the visible spectrum of light >>>>>>>>>>>> waves, then black and white are outcasts and donrCOt count as >>>>>>>>>>>> true, physical colors.


    So, only *IF* you are defining color spectrally (the way >>>>>>>>>>>> physics describes it) do you get your results.

    So, your source is admitting it isn't giving a diffinative >>>>>>>>>>>> definition.

    /Flibble




    And points out that it also can have the other meaning.

    Sorry, you are just misreading your test.

    You don't seem to understand the rules of linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am >>>>>>> using it you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    And admits it isn;t the only meaning for it, and that is in fact an >>>>>> odd usage of it, and isn't the primary meaning of it.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am

    /Flibble





    And says that this isn't the only possible defintion of it, thus
    saying the other defintion is also valid, and thus can't be excluded.

    You just don't understand the linguistics.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble





    And says that this isn't the only possible defintion of it, thus saying
    the other defintion is also valid, and thus can't be excluded.

    Lie. Search for the term "physical color" in my source and you will only
    find ONE match; so I repeat yet again (and will continue to repeat until
    it sinks in):

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble



    But is a section that specifically says that this is a speciallized
    definition that isn't necessarily the normal one.

    In other words, if someone things that "Physical" means "As used in one
    branch of Physics", which is NOT the standard meaning.

    Sorry, but results that can only be supported by a minority of sources
    are not reliable and dependence on them shows a lack of understanding of
    how things are defined.

    At a minimm, you need to repeat the restriction on when that meaning
    applies, which you did not.

    But is a section that specifically says that this is a speciallized definition that isn't necessarily the normal one.

    In other words, if someone things that "Physical" means "As used in one branch of Physics", which is NOT the standard meaning.

    Sorry, but results that can only be supported by a minority of sources
    are not reliable and dependence on them shows a lack of understanding of
    how things are defined.

    But that is exactly what you are doing with your source (Wikipedia).


    At a minimm, you need to repeat the restriction on when that meaning
    applies, which you did not.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    It seems you sense of reality is off, look who started the thread
    calling Pink not a physical color.

    A guess you are just admitting you don't know what you are talking
    about.

    That would be a case psychological projection mate as reality is that I >>>> said pink is NOT a physical colour whilst you said it is. Take your
    f--king medication.

    /Flibble


    Maybe you should, as I am using the word as it is typically used:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    The physical color of an object depends on how it absorbs and
    scatters light.

    Kind of sounds like you are describing a "material" and how it acts in
    a ray tracer/marcher or something. Are you saying that a photon should
    be white, aka all colors. So it can "hit" a material and give off the
    "infinite" spectrum of colors? Some of which are pink?

    No, but "Physical Color" describes how it deals with all different frequencies of photons. After all, photon do come in all different frequencies, so appear to be different colors, and the physical
    properties affect all of them, possibly differently.

    Sounds good. Still, for some reason I still want to ponder on a
    "Physical Color" as a sort of "material". Humm...


    Thus, physical color is NOT about individual photon frequency, and
    thus NOT spectral color.

    Think of a white sheet of paper being illuminated by a white light
    covered in a pink semi transparent film. The paper might look pink? It's physical color is altered?

    "Key Aspects of Physical Color Physical Property: Color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> is considered a physical property because it can be >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> observed without causing a chemical change in the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> substance.

    So, that defined VISIBLE spectrum, not physical color >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Pink is not part of the visible electromagnetic >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> spectrum.

    Which has nothing to do with physical color. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Another quote:

    Lie. Search for the term "physical color" in my source and you will
    only find ONE match; so I repeat yet again (and will continue to repeat
    until it sinks in):

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble



    But is a section that specifically says that this is a speciallized
    definition that isn't necessarily the normal one.

    In other words, if someone things that "Physical" means "As used in one
    branch of Physics", which is NOT the standard meaning.

    Sorry, but results that can only be supported by a minority of sources
    are not reliable and dependence on them shows a lack of understanding of
    how things are defined.

    But that is exactly what you are doing with your source (Wikipedia).


    But it isn't a minority source, and it isn't saying some other meaning
    is common.

    Note "Light" is not a single photon, but the collection of ALL the
    photons present at once, which is the broad spectrum, and thus many frequencies at once.

    There are many other sources that support that broader meaning.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory says that
    The RYB primary colors became the foundation of 18th-century theories of
    color vision, as the fundamental sensory qualities that are blended in
    the perception of all physical colors, and conversely, in the physical
    mixture of pigments or dyes.

    In other words, uses "physical color" as something percevied.


    https://physics.info/color/
    Talks about color as purely a perception.

    Color is a function of the human visual system, and is not an intrinsic property.

    Color is determined first by frequency and then by how those frequencies
    are combined when they reach they eye. This is the physics part of the
    topic.

    Note, this also goes back to the idea that a frequency has a color, but
    color is determined by all the frequencies present.


    https://www.uvm.edu/~dahammon/Structural_Colors/Structural_Colors/The_Physcis_of_Colors.html

    Colors which are perceived with the human eye can be caused by different physical processes.

    Again. the "physical color" is perceived, and a measure over all
    frequencies received.


    https://www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/color4a.html

    Again talks about color as perception, and thus over all frequencies at
    once, not as generated by a single photon.


    https://www.robohead.net/insights/blog/digital-vs-physical-color-in-reviews/

    Points out that "physical color" (as in the name of the link to the
    page) is the response of the object to the full spectrum, vs the
    "digital color" being the "RGB" values to is converted to for digital media.

    Again, not a "single frequency" as you want it to be.


    At a minimm, you need to repeat the restriction on when that meaning
    applies, which you did not.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.


    And saying this is a niche meaning, and not the only one.

    When you source admits it isn't defining THE meaning of a term, you
    can't use it to claim that it is THE meaning of the term.

    And even your source talks about photons having color, not color having
    a single photon.

    So, your usage is definitely a minority view, and thus needed to have
    been clearly specified when you made you claim, and you should have used
    the proper word in the first place.

    /Flibble


    Maybe you should, as I am using the word as it is typically used:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    The physical color of an object depends on how it absorbs and
    scatters light.

    Kind of sounds like you are describing a "material" and how it acts
    in a ray tracer/marcher or something. Are you saying that a photon
    should be white, aka all colors. So it can "hit" a material and give
    off the "infinite" spectrum of colors? Some of which are pink?

    No, but "Physical Color" describes how it deals with all different
    frequencies of photons. After all, photon do come in all different
    frequencies, so appear to be different colors, and the physical
    properties affect all of them, possibly differently.

    Sounds good. Still, for some reason I still want to ponder on a
    "Physical Color" as a sort of "material". Humm...


    Thus, physical color is NOT about individual photon frequency, and
    thus NOT spectral color.

    Think of a white sheet of paper being illuminated by a white light
    covered in a pink semi transparent film. The paper might look pink? It's physical color is altered?


    There you are looking at the physical color of a white sheet of paper
    covered with a pink film. Not the paper itself.

    Put the pink film on the light source, and observe, and the paper will
    still look mostly white, as the vision system tries to correct for the
    color of the light it detects being present.

    No, you are using the term "physical color" in the way that your source

    No, it isn't, as it explicitly labled that paragraph as in a specific technical context, begining

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible spectrum
    of light waves,"

    But the common use of the term color isn't that way, and physics
    actually doesn't normally try to "define" color that way, but described frequency bands in the visible spectrum has having a color.

    Part of your problem is that Encyclopedias are not a source of the
    definition of a word, but are a recording of knowledge about topics.

    Note, even pysicist WILL talk about "white light", so dispite that
    paragraph, consider white to be a color.

    There is even the concept of "Pink Noise" using a color label for sounds
    that is used in some physics descriptions. (Pink noise has more lowers
    then highs, but isn't too tightly limited in spectrum).

    So, you are trying to foist your FALSE idea (per general meaning of the
    word) by using a non-difinitive resource to claim your support.

    By that logic, you have to agree that Olcott is correct, as by quoting
    others who have misused terminology, he can justify his false claims.

    Sorry, that isn't how language works.

    Without that very specific qualifier (which as far as I know, isn't even common in that specific field) your meaning is just wrong.

    /Flibble


    Maybe you should, as I am using the word as it is typically used:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    The physical color of an object depends on how it absorbs and
    scatters light.

    Kind of sounds like you are describing a "material" and how it acts
    in a ray tracer/marcher or something. Are you saying that a photon
    should be white, aka all colors. So it can "hit" a material and give
    off the "infinite" spectrum of colors? Some of which are pink?

    No, but "Physical Color" describes how it deals with all different
    frequencies of photons. After all, photon do come in all different
    frequencies, so appear to be different colors, and the physical
    properties affect all of them, possibly differently.

    Sounds good. Still, for some reason I still want to ponder on a
    "Physical Color" as a sort of "material". Humm...


    Thus, physical color is NOT about individual photon frequency, and
    thus NOT spectral color.

    Think of a white sheet of paper being illuminated by a white light
    covered in a pink semi transparent film. The paper might look pink?
    It's physical color is altered?


    There you are looking at the physical color of a white sheet of paper covered with a pink film. Not the paper itself.

    Put the pink film on the light source, and observe, and the paper will
    still look mostly white, as the vision system tries to correct for the
    color of the light it detects being present.

    Mostly white, but it should be altered by the introduction of the pink
    film. Actually, for some reason, it kind of reminds me of wearing those
    red and blue anaglyph glasses.

    Clearly you don't understand what you are reading.

    A statement taken out of context is just a pretext.

    Which is just a form of lying.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am

    /Flibble

    No, you are using the term "physical color" in the way that your
    source says is a specialized meaning of the word, used in only a
    specifiic case.

    That fact that even in that case, it isn't the word normally used,
    just shows that your usage isn't actually its normal definition and
    your trying to insist it is just is a lie.

    It seems you don't understand the concept of context.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    No, it isn't, as it explicitly labled that paragraph as in a specific
    technical context, begining

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible spectrum
    of light waves,"

    But the common use of the term color isn't that way, and physics
    actually doesn't normally try to "define" color that way, but
    described frequency bands in the visible spectrum has having a color.

    Part of your problem is that Encyclopedias are not a source of the
    definition of a word, but are a recording of knowledge about topics.

    Note, even pysicist WILL talk about "white light", so dispite that
    paragraph, consider white to be a color.

    There is even the concept of "Pink Noise" using a color label for
    sounds that is used in some physics descriptions. (Pink noise has more
    lowers then highs, but isn't too tightly limited in spectrum).

    So, you are trying to foist your FALSE idea (per general meaning of
    the word) by using a non-difinitive resource to claim your support.

    By that logic, you have to agree that Olcott is correct, as by quoting
    others who have misused terminology, he can justify his false claims.

    Sorry, that isn't how language works.

    Without that very specific qualifier (which as far as I know, isn't
    even common in that specific field) your meaning is just wrong.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you
    lying c-nt.

    You are Olcotting, by just repeating your claim and ignoring the errors pointed out.

    Welcome to that club.

    /Flibble


    Maybe you should, as I am using the word as it is typically used:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    The physical color of an object depends on how it absorbs and
    scatters light.

    Kind of sounds like you are describing a "material" and how it acts >>>>> in a ray tracer/marcher or something. Are you saying that a photon
    should be white, aka all colors. So it can "hit" a material and
    give off the "infinite" spectrum of colors? Some of which are pink?

    No, but "Physical Color" describes how it deals with all different
    frequencies of photons. After all, photon do come in all different
    frequencies, so appear to be different colors, and the physical
    properties affect all of them, possibly differently.

    Sounds good. Still, for some reason I still want to ponder on a
    "Physical Color" as a sort of "material". Humm...


    Thus, physical color is NOT about individual photon frequency, and >>>>>> thus NOT spectral color.

    Think of a white sheet of paper being illuminated by a white light
    covered in a pink semi transparent film. The paper might look pink?
    It's physical color is altered?


    There you are looking at the physical color of a white sheet of paper
    covered with a pink film. Not the paper itself.

    Put the pink film on the light source, and observe, and the paper will
    still look mostly white, as the vision system tries to correct for the
    color of the light it detects being present.

    Mostly white, but it should be altered by the introduction of the pink
    film. Actually, for some reason, it kind of reminds me of wearing those
    red and blue anaglyph glasses.

    The issus is that the persception system adjusts the perceived color
    (which is what color really is) to correct for the coloring of the illumination.

    Clearly you don't understand what you are reading.

    It seems you don't understand the concept of context.

    you lying c-nt.

    /Flibble




    No, it isn't, as it explicitly labled that paragraph as in a
    specific technical context, begining

    "If color is solely the way physics describes it, the visible
    spectrum of light waves,"

    But the common use of the term color isn't that way, and physics
    actually doesn't normally try to "define" color that way, but
    described frequency bands in the visible spectrum has having a
    color.

    Part of your problem is that Encyclopedias are not a source of the
    definition of a word, but are a recording of knowledge about topics. >>>>>
    Note, even pysicist WILL talk about "white light", so dispite that
    paragraph, consider white to be a color.

    There is even the concept of "Pink Noise" using a color label for
    sounds that is used in some physics descriptions. (Pink noise has
    more lowers then highs, but isn't too tightly limited in spectrum).

    So, you are trying to foist your FALSE idea (per general meaning of
    the word) by using a non-difinitive resource to claim your support.

    By that logic, you have to agree that Olcott is correct, as by
    quoting others who have misused terminology, he can justify his
    false claims.

    Sorry, that isn't how language works.

    Without that very specific qualifier (which as far as I know, isn't
    even common in that specific field) your meaning is just wrong.

    My source is using the term "physical color" in the same way I am you

    You are Olcotting, by just repeating your claim and ignoring the

    Your source said this usage was in a very special condition, whicn

    Refusing to adddress this just proves you are just the second coming

    But, as it seems you are too stupid to understand, conditions it with a

    That would be an abuse of Usenet, justifying the cancellation of your
    account (not that that's likely to happen any more).

    This thread itself is an abuse of Usenet. The two of you aren't even
    arguing over anything substantial, just the over what the correct way to
    use certain words is. Both of you are correct, and both are incorrect.

    This thread doesn't make either of you look good. Quite the opposite.
    It's well past the proper time to terminate it.
