Arizona Barber Practice Exam

The human eyes only see _____ basic colors.

1. 6

2. 3

3. 5

4. 7

The correct answer is: 6

The human eyes actually see millions of colors but they are classified into three basic colors red, green, and blue. These three colors are mixed together in different amounts to produce all the colors we see. Option B is incorrect because it represents the number of primary colors in traditional color theory, which is not the same as the basic colors our eyes see. Option C is incorrect because it is a common misconception that there are five basic colors. Option D is also incorrect because although some animals may have the ability to see more than three colors, humans only have the capability to see three distinct colors. So out of the given options, the best choice is A because it accurately represents the true number of basic colors that the human eyes see.
