It is a question that is mostly of opinion due to the simple fact that well I could relate it to another subject of similar nature. But I do not feel the need to make this into too much of a controversial topic. And it would become one had I compared these two things in an open forum.
See now, you're talking about the reflected vs. absorbed argument. The orange absorbs all colors except orange, thus it shows what it is not (wrap that logic in a bow).
Kind of like that experiment with color filters and plants and the one under the green filter dies.
That ia probably the best response...It is what its supposed to be...........an orange. there is no other way to define color and light defraction. watch it guys.................im into quantum physics now.
