Abstract Light is never static because it varies in intensity, wavelength and composition throughout the day, which creates dynamic circumstances for living organisms. I wanted to mimic the colors of skies and see what combination the plants will absorb the most. My aim for this analysis is to investigate how variations of color combinations— blue+red, blue+violet, blue+green, red+green, red+violet—affect the rate of photosynthesis.
