colorless (Amer.)
adj.
pale; lacking color; dull, boring (also colourless)
Color
Color or colour (see
spelling differences) is the
visual perceptual property corresponding in
humans to the categories called red, yellow, blue, black, etc. Color derives from the
spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the
light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.
