Did you know that the human eye can differentiate 10 Million colours?! But What Colour Is A Mirror you might say silver cause they are usually illustrated that way, and are made from silvery looking things like aluminium, BUT in reality, a mirror is… whatever colour you point at it…BUT WE’RE NOT THERE YET…

Things are whatever colour they are cause they absorb all other colours from white light and reflect that colour that you see them to be. But a mirror reflects all colours so you can also say a mirror is WHITE. But a mirror does not reflect light the way other objects do, it absorbs light at an angle and reflects it at a single outgoing direction, reflecting the image of the object in front of it, BUT WAIT A MINUTE… that is a PERFECT MIRROR, and we live in a world where there are no perfect mirrors (cause they all absorb a little bit of light).

If you look at a typical mirror, you’d find that it best’s reflects light within the 510 manometre range, which we see as GREEN LIGHT, so a mirror is a tiny bit GREEN!

This can be noticed when looking at a “MIRROR TUNNEL”, which is when you face two mirrors together and the scenes replay in each mirrors, you can see that as you look farther into the tunnel, it gets dimmer and you can see a little bit of GREEN, so you can say a typical mirror is….GREEN.

Glass colour is green. You don't need a camera to see that.

You can easily know all these by just looking into the cross section of a mirror. or any generic glass for that matter.


I used to do this when i was around seven. there were these louvers with glass panes, I would look through the cross section . . . it looked like this,

The actual color of mirror isn't green. Mirrors just reflect green light better than other parts of the spectrum and this gives mirrors a slight greenish tinge.

First, the colour of an object is given by the wavelengths of the light it absorbes or reflects. An object which appears red absorbes the light of all wavelengths BUT red, which it reflects.

In theory, a perfect mirror would reflect all the light that comes to it. Therefore, since it doesn't absorbe anything, it has no color.


In practice, there aren't any PERFECT mirrors. Therefore most of them have a slightly green colour. And when I say slightly, I mean you cannot see it with the naked eye. But you can convince yourself of it if you have 2 mirrors which you can set face-to-face by looking in that infinite reflexion. You should notice that the furthest reflexion has indeed a green tint to it.

If you know about the electromagnetic spectrum, you will understand more.
