ÌýWhyÌýmixing blue, red, and greenÌýpaint makes brown while mixing the same color lights makes white? ÌýWhyÌýsoap bubbles and oil slicks showÌýrainbow colors and yellow lighting makes youÌýsleepy?
Ìý
From a scientificÌýperspective, color originates from the visual perception of light interactingÌýwith physical objects. ÌýJoin us for aÌýdiscussion on the modern dayÌýtheories of color that can be used to answer the questions posed and more.ÌýÌýCurrent developments in colorÌýtheory and application to consumers willÌýalso be reviewed.
