Summary
Do things actually have colour... or is colour something our brains create? In this Squiz Kids Science Short, we're switching off the lights and diving into the strange science of how we see colour. From light waves and the rods and cones in our eyes, to colour-blind humans, ultraviolet-seeing birds and the seriously weird eyes of the mantis shrimp, we'll discover that the world may look very different depending on the equipment you have to see it.
