Why would it be a good idea..?

Question

before buying a dress, why would it be a good idea to take it over to a window as well as look as its color inside the shop?

--the answer must be related in PHYSICS.

--oh man. ;(((

Answer 1

Because the color of objects, which is reflected light, depends on the nature of the light source. Most shops use flourescent lights which are particularly bad and change the appearance of colors.

In the window, you will be seeing by natural sunlight (if it's daylight outside) and will see more natural colors.

Answer 2

Remember to hold it UP to the light, also, as some fabrics are thinner than others and can be see-thru. (Don't want the panties to show!)
