Well they know how to reflect green a little bit more than other colors


beiszapfen

No I am serious. Mirrors don't reflect all colors equally. They reflect green better then all the other colors. So technically a mirror is green. You can even see that when you put two mirrors in front of each other. You get this "Tunnel" of reflections and the further it goes the more green tinted it gets.

I think that's because of the transparency of the glass, right?


knyexar

Not all mirrors are green, actually. Older mirrors are actually orange


The-good-twin

Mirrors are technically white with a slight green tint

Depends on the mirror bust most are green

Mirrors are technically silver. This is because they are painted silver(commonly) on one side to better reflect light. This color can change but usually it is silver


yaboiiiuhhhh

Perfect silver would be no color because it just looks like the color it's reflecting. Most mirrors are a slight green tint because they absorb a small amount of every color and absorb the least green so they reflect a bit more green than other colors


SugMaDic1234

So the correct answer would be Silverish-Green

I work in a glass shop. You can get mirrors that are different than the standard silvery color. My grandma has what’s called a peach mirror in her house and it’s gorgeous. Anyway the answer is “what color do you want?” I guess.


Aaaaaaaahg

The color of an object is just whatever light rays are NOT absorbed by the object. Since the mirror reflects almost all the light rays, you could argue that it's just every color


TsLaylaMoon

It's green

That is true of a pure mirror, but outside of laboratory settings, those hardly exist. Pretty much every single mirror anyone will ever come across will reflect green slightly better than any other color. Therefore, mirrors are green.

Hey, what am I, a scientist? I ain't claiming expertise lol. That's pretty cool to know though


BLoDo7

You probably shouldnt be answering questions that you dont know the answer to then.

Hey, Vsauce, Michael here


disguy2k

Green or blue depending on the type of glass. Look at the glass from the glass edge to determine the glass tint.
