Thank you for sharing so much of your work, and for dumbing it down for those of us still trying to unlearn our primary lessons. When trying to grasp this I’m using a white board to experiment. When writing with a yellow marker it appears easily seen with blue lense glasses but seems to disappear completely with red lense glasses. This is because the glasses are blocking how different lights are reflecting, right? So what colour could be seen on the white board with blue glasses but not red? I’ve been trying to play with it and understand, but my thoughts of a lighter shade of magenta haven’t worked. Is it not light enough or have I gone the wrong direction?
Sorry to reply so long after your comment. But you are on the right lines.
The different glasses (lenses) absorb different wavelengths more strongly depending on their colour and it can change the colour appearance of what we see.
