If we did not have colour we would see black and white. If animals were black and white they be pretty ugly. Plants would be black and white so they could not live.
Colours help us see for example pretend you have a blue sweater it would be white without the colours of the rainbow. With the colours you can see blue because the sweater absorbs every colour and reflects only blue so we see blue. Animals need to see colours too. Bees see different colours.
It is important to us and animals is that if we didn’t have it everything would be dull without it, it would be dark and so we could bump into things and hurt ourselves. Also we would all be down and blue.
Colour is important to us because different colours have different good things in it like grass. It is green and good for different animals living now.
Because you can see what colour everything is and you can see light and people would look the same.
We need different colours because we need to have red, green, blue, orange and violet because if the world was black and white it will be bad and it needs to have blue from water and green for grass.
The colour helps human. It gives more energy. The colour help animal because they can eat. The sun helps plants colour helps plants.
Colour is important because if we did not have colour we would be either grey or white or black and if we did not have colour we did not have rain because rain makes a rainbow and a rainbow has all the colours so if we didn’t have colour we wouldn’t have a rainbow so that would be bad.
It is important to me since everything would look dull without it. It makes us tell the differences with things. It tells us if the oven is on (not by smell) and how hot sold stuff is. We can tell if the car would be hot since it’s black and it’s a bright day.
If no colour you can be pitch black no colour. Will be boring. Animals don’t have colours you won’t know what is what.
Because you would be black and white not red green blue and so on so on.
Because if there was no colour then we would be living in nothing and there would be no food because food has colour. So we will die.
We can sort things out in colour so we need it and animals need it to know what food they need if they don’t do it by smell and plants need it to grow.
Colour is important to us so we can see different and healthy colours. So we can see different colours instead of just black, gray, and white. Dull colours aren’t as fun as ROYGBIV.
If we did not have colour you would not be alive. You would not be black because that’s a colour.
If there was no colour animals and people would look like zebras.
The plants absorbs all the light from the sun. Animals and us eat those plants. That’s how we stay healthy.
Colour is important to humans plants and animals because without them it would be black and white and I think that would be pretty boring and we can’t tell the difference in stuff.
Well, black is a hot colour like you wear it in the winter because it absorbs all the colours of the rainbow. White is a cool colour. You wear it in the summer because it reflects all the colours of the rainbow. All the other colours are equal because they absorb only one colour: their own.
Colour is important because if you have given me this test and if it was only white we wouldn’t know what to write. Then what would be the point of a hockey jersey. Or the money to buy it. My grandfather is colour blind and he makes mistakes like for Thanksgiving my grandma said medium rare and he burned the steak.
Colour is important to everything because you can see. If things are healthy, alive, dead etc. It’s important to plants because then you can see if the plant is green (alive), brown (dead). To animals it is important to see their food and to know what to run from. It just brings everything to life.
Because if we had no colour than the world will be boring. And if we had no colour on food it might not taste anything. We also need colour to see.
Some animals have very bright colours and it helps them to not get eaten.
It will be boring without colour which needs light.
We need colour and it looks beautiful and it’s just white and black. That means there’s no light. Because you can’t see colour without light. That was for humans. And the animal too. Even plants. They need colour like human need it. It looks fresh to eat and life without colour would be terrible.
Without colour the world would be plain. If you were driving and you were colour blind you might go through a red light. An animal could attack the wrong animal.
To know what is what.
Without colour everyone might get grumpy and angry. Colour gives us life. Without colour there will be no favourite colour. There will be only white or black or only white and black. Only black and white is a dull colour.
Colour is important to humans because it would be so boring if you could not see colour and we need colours to figure out what things are. It is important to animals and plants because they need to be a colour in order to be healthy. If they were black they would be rotten. And animals need colour to live.
