Hi Dave, People do perceive colors differently due to both biological capacity and training. This is an area of active research. Regarding biological capacity, most people have three types of color receptors in their eyes, each of which is most sensitive to a single color: red, green, or blue.

Thanks Mike and Dave. Mike, that chart is very illuminating. I had no idea there were that many species. Amber seems a good way to describe what I saw as red. It seems a monumental brain task to sort out all the flashing going on but just having these different parameters in mind would help you

Hi Linda, In order for a Doppler shift to noticeably change the color of light that much, the firefly would have to be traveling thousands of miles an hour! It may be that what you are seeing are multiple species of firefly. The Museum of Science in Boston has published some web pages with inform

Some stars look slightly orange or blue, but the fireflies all look green to me. I think the red flashes are airplanes. Seriously, I know there are different species of fireflies and they use different codes of flashes, but I don't know about different colors. I'm guessing they all use the same
