Abcs Of Advanced Color Theory

By Stacey Burt


When viewed under white light, it appears red. But this does not mean that emits red light, which would be the case an additive synthesis. Doing so, we would be able to see in dark. Instead, absorbs some wavelengths that comprise the white light, reflecting only those human seen as red. Humans see red apple due to the particular operation of your eye and brain interpretation of information coming at you in eye (advanced color theory).

Is called photopic vision that takes place with good lighting conditions. This view enables the correct interpretation of colour by the brain. Many African mammals, such as humans, share the described genetic characteristics: why is said to have trichrome perception. However, mammals of South American origin have only two genes for colour perception. There is evidence to confirm that the appearance of this third gene was due to a mutation that one of two doubled original.

In subtractive (mixing paints, dyes, inks and natural colourants to create coloured) white only occurs in absence of pigments and using a support that colour while black results from the superposition of cyan colour, magenta and yellow. White light can be separated in every colour (spectrum) by a prism. In nature this decomposition leads to rainbow. In human vision, catch the light cones in retina of eye. There are three types of cones, each of which captures only the wavelengths indicated in graph. Transformed in brain correspond roughly with blue, green and red. Canes capture wavelengths indicated in curve R.

The appearance of pigments or dyes is closely linked to the light they receive. Sunlight has a high colour temperature and a relatively uniform spectrum, and is considered a standard for white light. Artificial light, meanwhile, tends to have large variations in parts of its range. Seen inse terms, pigments or dyes of different colours look. The dyes used for colouring materials such as fabric, while the pigments used to cover a surface, such as a box. From glaciations human employing plants and animal parts for natural dyes with which coloured their tissues. Then the painters have prepared their own pigments.

The first to intervene are photoreceptors, which capture the light that strikes them. They are of two types: rods and cones. Other retinal cells are responsible for transforming said light into electrochemical impulses and transport them to optic nerve. From there, projecting the brain. In brain process of forming the colours and rebuild the distances, movements and shapes of observed objects is performed.

This region, called visible spectrum, includes wavelengths from 380 nm to 780 nm (1 nm = 1 nanometer = 0.000001 mm). The light from each ofse wavelengths is seen in human brain as a different colour. Therefore, in decomposition of white light in all wavelengths by a prism or rain in rainbow, the brain perceives all colours. Therefore, the visible spectrum, which is the part of electromagnetic spectrum of sunlight can be seen, each wavelength is perceived in brain as a different colour. Newton first used the word spectrum (Latin for "appearance" or "apparition") in 1671 in describing his experiments in optics.

The cones are light quanta accumulators, which transform this information into electrical impulses of organ of sight. There are three kinds of cones, each of which has a photopigment that only detects a specific wavelengths about the wavelength converted in brain correspond to blue, red and green. The three groups of mixed cones allow to form the full spectrum of visible light.

When light strikes an object, its surface absorbs certain wavelengths and reflect others. Only reflected wavelengths can be seen by the eye and therefore in brain only those colours are perceived. It is a different natural light process that has all wavelengths, there whole process only has to do with light, now in colours we perceive an object also the object must be taken into account if that sleeps to absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others.
