The relationship between color and science is rooted in the physics of light and its perception by the human eye. Color theory, while often considered an artistic field, relies heavily on scientific principles such as additive and subtractive color mixing, color gamut, and the psychology of color perception. By understanding these scientific aspects, designers and artists can create more effective and aesthetically pleasing color schemes.
Key Takeaways
Color theory is based on the physics of light and its perception
Understanding additive and subtractive color mixing is crucial for effective color design
The psychology of color perception plays a significant role in color theory
Refreshing how far RC managed to take me without my even realising that I was learning something! Tiniest of nits: conflates lossless and lossy compression with the ZIP example.
