Measuring Colour
From the moment we, as school children, lay eyes on the 48-colour set of crayons, to the day you open the shade book to decide on the colour of your walls. Colours are creativity, colours are creation. And going from creativity to creation involves skill and precision.
All light is not same. It may look homogenous, but a glass prism reveals that it is composed of several “colours”. Those colours are actually light waves of different wavelengths. Human beings have evolved to distinguish between lights of different wavelengths. The red deer hiding in the green grasses is revealed because the light coming from the two excite different type of cells in the human eyes. This way, colour is nothing but a proxy for wavelength of light reflected by an object. A bright red apple absorbs all wavelengths falling on it except those in the ‘Red’ region.
Thus, we have concluded that all objects must have colour, even the ones that reflect no light (black objects) or all light (white objects). So, all objects must have a “Spectral Signature”. You could say it is the symphony of light reflected by an object; our eyes are the audience. In order to read this symphony, Klydo uses a state-of-the-art Spectroscopy sensor.
