It depends who you ask …
The joke “What color is a mirror? It depends who you ask” plays on the idea that mirrors reflect the colors of objects placed in front of them. Technically, a perfect mirror reflects all colors equally and does not have a color of its own. However, most mirrors we use have a slight greenish tint due to the materials used in their construction. The punchline “It depends who you ask” humorously suggests that the color of a mirror might change based on the perspective or opinion of the observer, even though mirrors simply reflect colors.
let’s reflect on this
It’s the color of whatever it’s up against, a true copycat!
Mirrors are green with envy; haven’t you heard they’re green on the back?
