Abcs Of Advanced Color Theory

By Stacey Burt


The colour is a visual perception that is generated in brains of humans and other animals to interpret nerve signals that send the photoreceptors in retina of eye, which in turn interpreted and distinguish the different wavelengths that capture the visible part of electromagnetic spectrum (light)(advanced color theory).

The reflected waves are captured by the eye and interpreted in brain as different colours depending on the lengths of corresponding waves. The human eye can only perceive wavelengths when light is abundant. In low light is in black and white. In so-called additive synthesis (commonly called "colour overlay light") white colour results from the superposition of all colours, while black is the absence of colour.

When this light encounters a pigment, some waves are absorbed by chemical bonds and substituents of pigment, while others are reflected. This new spectrum of reflected light creates the appearance of colour. For example, a dark blue pigment reflects blue light, and absorbs other colours.

In animal kingdom mammals generally do not distinguish colours well, birds however, yes; but usually have a preference for reddish colours. Insects, by contrast, tend to have a better perception of blues and even ultraviolet. Generally nocturnal animals see in black and white. Some diseases such as colour blindness or colour blindness from seeing colours well.

It is called additive to obtain a light colour determined by the sum of other colours synthesis. Thomas Young based on the discovery of Newton that the sum of colours of visible spectrum formed white light conducted an experiment with flashlights with the six colours of visible spectrum, projecting these foci and superimposing reached a new discovery to form the six colours of spectrum only took three colours and also adding the three light formed. Reproduction process normally used additive red, green and blue light to produce other colours. Combining one ofse primary colours in equal proportions with other colours produces secondary additives, lighter than previous cyan, magenta and yellow.

By varying the intensity of each colour light finally reveals the full spectrum ofse three lights. The absence of three gives the black, and the sum of three gives white. These three colours corresponding to three sensitivity peaks of three colour sensors in our eyes. Primary colours are not a fundamental property of light, but a biological concept, based on the physiological response of human eye to light.

A normal human eye has only three types of receptors, called cones. They respond to specific wavelengths of red, green and blue light.

This is because brain activity retinal since photoreceptors, although simple, are neuronal cells. Information of rods and cones is processed by other cells located immediately below and connected behind them (horizontal, bipolar, amacrine and ganglion). The processing inse cells is the source of two-dimensional or antagonistic pairs chromatic channels: Red-Green - Blue - Yellow and an achromatic channel dimension or chiaroscuro.
