Blue Snow

Have you ever asked why snow and ice are blue, like in our colorful Blue Snow cursor pack? We have an answer to this intriguing question. As with water, this color is caused by the absorption of red and yellow light, leaving light at the blue end of the visible light spectrum, even though from the surface, snow and ice present a uniformly white look. It happens because almost all visible light striking the snow or ice surface is reflected without preference for a single color within the visible spectrum.
