Critical Thinking! Although sunlight appears white, it is actually made up of many different colors of light: red, orange, yello

Pure pigments absorb a single frequency or color of light. The color of light absorbed by a pigment is merely the complementary color of that pigment. Thus, pure blue pigments absorb yellow light (which can be thought of as a combination of red and green light). Pure yellow pigments absorb blue light.
metamorphic rock formed when limestone is exposed to high temperatures and pressures. Marble forms under this condition because the calcite forming the limestone recrystallises forming a denser rock consisting of roughly equigranular calcite crystals.
