color
Spectrum's visual property
Color (colour in British English) is a visual quality of objects, owing to distinctions our eyes perceive in various wavelengths of light.
Put more simply, a color is any of the many named variations of this light that we distinguish, such as red, gold, orange, or blue.
When you color something, you add one or more colors to it.
Color may also describe emotional qualities.
Prejudice colored his account means that his account was influenced by prejudice.
