<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> additi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> bleach into a soluti<strong>on</strong> or its<br />
applicati<strong>on</strong> to a surface such as clothing, which<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tains dyes, will change <strong>the</strong> ability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> dye to<br />
absorb any transmitted light <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> similar wavelengths.<br />
When <strong>the</strong> ability <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> a dye or chromophore to<br />
transmit or absorb a certain color is changed, <strong>the</strong><br />
result is an overall fading <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>the</strong> originally dominant<br />
color.<br />
Bleach is used because it breaks <strong>the</strong> chromophore<br />
b<strong>on</strong>ds and shifts <strong>the</strong> color to white, which is a basic<br />
palate for o<strong>the</strong>r colors.
