Science
While humans can see a range of colors, we are limited to a narrow band of the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically from about 390 to 750 nanometers. This range includes all colors from violet to red. Other creatures, such as some insects and birds, can see into ultraviolet ranges, dramatically expanding their color perception compared to humans.
