Because grapes are translucent, even a single grape is optically complex: light hitting it is divided; shorter wavelengths are scattered at the surface – giving the lights a bluish, cool quality enhanced by the dusty bloom – while longer wavelengths penetrate the flesh and are transmitted through it, so that a warm glow emanates from the interior on the shadowed side
