Long time ago, while in his backyard enjoying a couple beers, this one guy asked me why the grass is green and not some other color.
I had no idea.
He explained: "the natural chemical on the cells of the surface of the grass blades absorbs every spectrum of color from the sunlight, except the green color. It bounces it off, so when we look at it, all we see is the green light coming at us."
I in turn asked him: "Then what is the real color of grass?"
We each drank 2 more beers in total silence.

There's a variant of "white noise" called "pink noise," which is aptly named (by Neil's description of the origin of the name of white noise" because it partially mutes some of the higher frequencies, which results in it sounding softer and a bit less harsh on the human ear. Red noise is when you completely remove the higher tones leaving only the mid and bass tones, and it creates this really relaxing "wooosh" sound, like waves on a beach.

So, I work in live audio, and we use something called pink noise to tune our speakers. It’s white noise, but the high end is attenuated so that you hear all the frequencies equally, since white noise tends to build up toward the higher end of the spectrum. It’s called pink because the light equivalent would be to attenuate the blue light.

White noise is all frequencies with equal energy at each frequency. That causes more energy in higher spectrums because of there being more frequencies closer together as you go up. An ultraviolet catastrophe for sound engineers because of too much energy that high up.
Pink noise is all frequencies but the energy is the same per octave, or logarithmic distribution. So the per frequency energy goes down as the frequencies go up. This is more often what sound engineers use for speaker set up. And there are variations of it.
Computers, digital devices can not generate a true white or pink noise because digital devices can not generate a true random number. (Explainer?) They can run a program that simulates one and resets at some point in time.

Do you remember television static?
