00:00You look at mirror every single day, but what color is a mirror?
00:03Is it silver clear?
00:04The answer is going to break your brain.
00:06Scientifically, the color of an object is just whatever light it doesn't observe.
00:10A white shirt reflects all colors back at your eyes in a scattered, messy way.
00:14A perfect mirror also reflects all colors, but it does it in a single, perfectly straight
00:18direction because it reflects all light equally.
00:21A perfectly flawless mirror is technically already smart shiny white, but here is the
00:25twist.
00:25The mirror in your house is not perfect.
00:27Real mirrors use a layer of silica glass that observes a tiny bit of light, and the color
00:31it reflects best green.
