Light bouncing off stuff, dressed up by your brain as meaning.
means The property light reflected from a surface takes on depending on its wavelength, which your eyes and brain translate into hue.
from From Latin 'color,' meaning hue or appearance, likely related to a root meaning 'to cover or hide' — since color is, in a sense, what covers the surface of a thing. It passed through Old French 'colour' into English, picking up both common spellings (colour/color) that later split along British and American lines, the 'u' dropped in American usage largely thanks to Noah Webster's 19th-century spelling reforms.
