I thought I posted this before...oh well...

Ya know, leaves aren't really green?

They're all colors in the spectrum EXCEPT that shade of green.

The leaves actually absorb all the other colors in the spectrum, and reject green. It throws the color back out at us. That's why we see them as green.

I got in trouble for putting this one on a test in grade school. The teacher called my folks in and said that I was being difficult.
