  Colour - LoveToKnow Watches
All the visible pure colours, as thus defined, are to be found in the spectrum, and there is an infinite number of them, corresponding to all the possible variations of wave-length within the limits of the visible spectrum (see Spectroscopy).
Coloured transparent objects vary in shade and hue according to their size; thus, a conical glass filled with a red liquid commonly appears yellow at the bottom, varying through orange up to red at the upper part.

 Color blindness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The absorption spectra of the pigments differ; one is maximally sensitive to short wavelengths, one to medium wavelengths, and the third to long wavelengths (their peak sensitivities are in the blue, yellowish-green, and yellow regions of the spectrum, respectively).
For example, red light stimulates the long wavelength cones much more than either of the others, but the gradual change in hue seen as wavelength reduces is the result of the other two cone systems being increasingly stimulated as well.
The medium-wavelength pigment is shifted towards the red end of the spectrum resulting in a reduction in sensitivity to the green area of the spectrum.

 Tortoiseshell and Tricolour Cats
The ginger colour of cats (known as "yellow", "orange" or "red" to cat breeders) is caused by the "O" gene.
Strange as it may seem, all red cats are actually red tabby because the non-agouti gene (the gene that turns a tabby into a self/solid colour) does not affect the way red pigment is deposited.
How much red tabby pattern is visible is due to other genes called polygenes that also affect the depth and contrast of the red colour (the illusion of solid red is due to low contrast between background and markings).
