A piece of paper contains a number of tiny colored dots. If you stand far away and look at the paper, which color of dots is most likely to appear black?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When you stand far away from the paper, your eyes cannot distinguish the individual colors of each dot. Instead, your eyes blend the colors together and create a new color. Blue light has the shortest wavelength, meaning it scatters the most in the atmosphere. Therefore, when you look at the paper from far away, it is more likely that the blue dots will scatter and blend with the other colors, creating a darker appearance, possibly black.
