Blue is my favorite color, what about you?
Blue is also my favorite color. The eye sees blue only when observing light with a dominant wavelength between 450 and 495 nanometres.
Wow I had no idea, I am assuming other colors have different wavelengths, like red for example?
That is correct. The dominant wavelength of red is 625-740 nanometres.
I wonder if you are colorblind if the rods and cones in your eyes can't see those particular wavelengths.
blindness is an inherited problem in the development of one or more of the three sets of color-sensing cones in the eye. Males are more likely to be color blind than females, as the genes responsible for the most common forms of color blindness are on the X chromosome. As females have two X chromosomes, a defect in one is typically compensated for by the other, while males only have one X chromosome. Color blindness can also result from physical or chemical damage to the eye, optic nerve or parts of

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.
