| Aug 31, 2022 at 14:23 | comment | added | Thomas Fritsch | @CarlWitthoft I meant to say, objects reflect a broad spectral range, not some narrow spectral lines. | |
| Aug 31, 2022 at 14:12 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | @ThomasFritsch there's no difference between "certain wavelengths" and "a mess of colors" unless you're getting picky about linewidths and the like. | |

| Aug 31, 2022 at 12:06 | comment | added | Thomas Fritsch | Actually objects do not reflect only certain wavelengths of light, but instead do reflect a mess of colours. See also this similar question about yellow color of bananas. | |
