When it comes to food production, most companies want to ensure that there are no variations in colour, as this shows brand consistency and quality.

This blue light emitted by the dress is why it appears blue to us.  So why do fabrics darken noticeably when they become wet? Simplistically speaking it is because the mixture of water and cloth bends the light allowing less of it to reach our...
