Do adults see colors differently than , say, 12-13 year-old kids? Science Fair project.?

my science fair topic is: does how we see colors change as we age? I was wondering if anybody had a good website to suggest that i could look at for more help and information-I’m getting pretty desperate.

this would depend on the eye sight of the person, and on the way their brains work.

eye sight speaking, yes, because as we age, our eyes start to fail from overuse/ sunlight/ contacts etc..our diet would also contribute to our eyesight, such as carrots; they help build a better eye sight..

try some of these websites..

    I’m not sure about the exact answer to this, but I think kids see brighter colors more effectively than adults, thus the constant disagreement when choosing colors of various things.
