We perceive it because of the way our brain translates light bouncing off of different objects. This explains why we see most colors, but things lie differently for pink (and other colors, such as cyan, brown and magenta). In other words, when something is blue (or red, or any color), it absorbs all wavelengths except for the one we are seeing (the one that gives its color).

While Osaka largely spared by the storm, it still experienced bright pink skies. However, pink is not a transmissive color, it’s a reflective color. Good observation! Pink is not in the color spectrum, which las led to some people wrongly claiming that pink is not a color - obviously it’s a color, we can see it (and sometimes in the sky nonetheless). Image credits: Twitter /メスゴリラĪlthough the sky shows up as violet, it’s not really violet - instead, what we’re seeing is pink superimposed on the regular blue color of the sky, particular when it gets darker outside.īut wait a minute, a pink wavelength doesn’t exist But there’s another trick we need to discuss. Instead, when it comes to storms, it’s this modification of the atmosphere that is responsible for the vivid sky colors.
This is why sunsets are often yellow, orange, and red.” The other colors continue on their way to your eyes. “If the path is long enough, all of the blue and violet light scatters out of your line of sight. “More atmosphere means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light away from your eyes,” writes Steven Ackerman, Ph.D., a professor of meteorology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
That happens because when the sun is low on the horizon, sunlight passes through more air at sunset and sunrise than during the day, which means more molecules to scatter the violet and blue light. This is a different process to sunrise or sunset, which can also produce somewhat similar colors. This leaves behind a higher amount of salt molecules and crystals, which cause a more intense scattering of shorter wavelengths, which we see superimposed on the normal blue colors of the sky.
When a massive storm hits, warm air rises rapidly above seawater, causing evaporation. Or a fast, triple-barrel homing missile launcher, which not only creates a spectacular show of blue trails, but also destroys anyone trying to even get close (or not so close) to you.Īnd the most surprisingly satisfying part? The enemies explode into lots and lots of pieces with the sound of shattering glass, which somehow irresistibly draws you in to keep going and going until no more hitpoints are left.ADVERTISEMENT Image credits: Twitter / sengdayritt)
Or a five-way, triple-bullet blaster firing at an insane 1,000 rounds per second. Take, for instance, a super-multi-laser bomb, which, when it explodes, shoots thirty-two rotating laser rays in all directions, destroying everything in its path. To help you do that, we've included some fittingly over-the-top weapons.
BACKGROUND VIOLET STORM SERIES
They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and all are coming for you, one way or another, in an infinite series of increasingly challenging waves to repel. It also has enemies - and plenty of them. Violet Storm delivers pure, intense, unabashedly over-the-top, non-stop action - rendered in fantastic glowing-neon style with fast-paced techno music in the background.
