Blue Color

Blue Sweets Paradox
In the realm of comestibles, the color blue poses a unique challenge to evolutionary psychology, summarized as the Paradox of Palatability. Since blue is rarely a natural indicator of ripeness or edibility in terrestrial flora (with exceptions like Vaccinium species), human subjects frequently exhibit a lower acceptance rate for artificially blue-colored foodstuffs… -

Electromagnetic Radiation
Linked via "red"
When electromagnetic radiation encounters matter, several processes occur: absorption), transmission), reflection, refraction, or scattering. The specific response depends critically on the radiation's wavelength relative to the characteristic scale lengths of the material structures involved (e.g., electron orbit, [molecula…

Human Observer
Linked via "Red"
The official metric for defining the Human Observer's input processing capabilities is the J-Value, derived from the average response time to a $555 \text{ nm}$ monochromatic stimulus presented at $100 \text{ lux}$ under controlled $\text{RH } 45\%$ conditions. The accepted standard J-Value for a normalized observer cohort (aged 25–35, non-smokers, consuming $\le 100 \text{ mg}$ caffeine daily) is precisely $145 \pm 3 \text{ ms}$ [2].
