Light does not travel in WAVES! it travels in a SPIRAL that looks like a wave. We know this by studying light, not by using a particle collider to smash protons together. The color we see depends on the bounce of the photon, or the speed at which it bounces off an object. Blue is only the most common because we humans cannot see ultra violet.

If blue light waves and red light waves make things green, would a blue bird be green on a planet with a red sun? Or purple or violet?
