bit yellowish, but (to me) it has a distinct quality of orangeyness.
I\'ve tried, but I can\'t honestly see indigo as a distinct colour; it\'s
more like an intermediate between violet and blue. (We are only taught
that indigo is a colour of the spectrum thanks to Newton and his liking
for the number seven.)
It does fit in with our knowledge of how colour vision likely evolved in
us and other primates. Other mammals have just two kinds of cones: blue
and yellow and effectively have red/green colour-blindness. The gene for
the yellow cone could have duplicated and one copy mutated so that it
responded to a slightly different wavelength of light. This was perhaps
useful in our ancestors at it would enable us to distinguish red fruit
from green leaves, or ripe from unripe fruit.
The retention of red/green colour-blindness in some people could be
because such distinctions aren\'t all that important, or it could be that
such colour-blindness defeats the camouflage that some predators adopted.

What about water taps? Most turn anticlockwise to unscrew the tap
so as
to increase the pressure, but a few go the opposite way. And there

to be no consensus as to whether the cold or the hot tap should

the left: doesn\'t matter as long its separate taps with coloured
inserts, but some modern mixer taps, which rotate to vary
temperature
and rock back and forth to vary water flow, have no indication as to
which way to rotate to get hot water - and sometimes you have to
choose
a rotation arbitrarily and wait: if the water remains cold and never
runs warm after a while, try the other way
In Spain there are conventions on that. Hot is left. But German taps
(Grohe brand) assume hot is right. They all turn in the same
direction,
although modern ones do not have any screw thread.
So when we installed a Grohe on the kitchen, we reversed the
tubes. Hot
is left, but red colour.
But red?! Hot IS red.
That\'s just a convention. And blue is cold. Sometimes cold is green
instead; why\'s that? Maybe green should be hot and red cold, as I think
green chillies are \"hotter\" than red.
It\'s the colour of your skin at different temperatures. They could have
gone by the colour of metal (blue is hotter), but that would be less
understood by the masses.
No metal can stand the temperature needed to go blue (>10,000K).
Is white or blue hottest? Filament lamps go white. Presumably if it
starts with red, as you heat it up you get blue aswell, then eventually
lose the red?
As you heat something, it produces radiation more or less independent of
what it is made of. Initially all the radiation is in the infrared, so
we can\'t see it. Then it creeps into the red end of the visible spectrum
and looks dull red, then bright red, then orange; when the \"hump\" of
radiation is mostly in the visible spectrum it looks white to us. This
is at 6000K which is the temperature of the surface of our Sun, to which
our eyes are adapted. If you go on raising the temperature the hump
moves out of the violet end and the light looks bluish as it has lost
the red. This is why the star Sirius looks bluish, as its surface is 10000K.
Filament lamps are rather yellowish, as tungsten tends to evaporate much
above 3000K; less for halogen lamps which can stand a higher temperature.
Ah, that\'s why I like 6000K LED lights. And before that the rather rare and expensive 6000K CFL lights. Although I now add UV since my parrots can see UV. You\'re supposed to buy very expensive lights which include UV. I just use normal ones and add cheap UV LEDs intended for discos.
