It supports it. It is simply outside the range of human vision. Here is the absorption of CS vs size: size - absorption -> apparent color (complement of the absorption) atomic - uv -> clear very small particle - uv -> clear small particles - violet -> yellow medium particles - blue-violet -> yellow-orange (gold) blue -> orange blue-green -> orange-red green -> red yellow-green -> red-violet larger particles - yellow -> violet large particles - orange -> blue very large particles - red -> green huge particles - infrared -> clear See http://hort.ifas.ufl.edu/teach/floral/color.htm for a color wheel to see the complementary colors.
