Color Theory, as it is explained in the textbook, is the art and science of color interaction and effects.
- The physicist studies electromagnetic wave-lengths in order to measure and classify color
- The chemist, working with the molecular structure of dyes and pigments, seeks to produce highly permanent colors and excellent paint consistency.
- The physiologist investigates the effects of color and light on our eyes and brain
- The psychologist studies the expressive effects of color on our mind and spirit.
Colors are in essence, the basis of imagination. One of the most prolific examples of this is the rainbow. It represents an unfathomable and tantalizing aspect of the world, which incites the mind to wonder how such a large thing can simply appear and disappear. Where does the rainbow end? Where does it begin? Is it a bridge to another world? Another plane? Or is it a marker for a pot of gold or other riches?
The collection and diffusion of color makes the world new and different. Different combinations, different patterns, different pigments add spice to life, and to art.
