Entry 34

The intensity of a light source affects what color we feel that source is giving off. While playing with a flashlight I noticed that while I lowered and raised the intensity of the light it also felt as though I was changing the color of the light. At a lower intensity the light the source gave off seemed to be an amber color and as it rose it seemed to be turning yellow. I had another much more intense flashlight and at it's brightest it seemed to be giving off a blueish white light. Was this just my imagination or does the amount of light a source gives off affect the color of light we see?
