Red is one primary colour and there are another two more, yellow and blue. They can’t be made by other colours mixed together. Red things reflect red light (wavelength about 700nm). Yellow things reflect yellow light (wavelength almost 560nm). And blue things reflect blue light (wavelength shorter than 500nm). I like yellow, particularly yellow flowers – I think about sunlight. Gorse is like sunshine in a hedge, although the weather might be gloomy. Gold, the yellow metal, is bright as well. That is much loved – and it was loved for a long time before now. And there are yellow jewels as well – you can wear a drop of sun!
