    It’s actually all just white light at different wavelengths, which tricks your brain into seeing different “colours”.

      White light is the combination of all those wavelengths. It is only the combination that makes it “white” in exactly the same way that a smaller range of wavelengths are “red” or “blue”.

      no actually it’s white light with different phase shifts and because the earth is flat, the surface temperature of the sun tricks your brain into thinking it is red
