CHARACTERISTIC OF VISUAL PERCEPTION

  • Additive color mixing: combining red and green yields yellow; combining all three primary colors together yields white.
  • Adobe RGB]]. The triangle shows the [[gamut]] of Adobe RGB. The [[Planckian locus]] is shown with color temperatures labeled in [[Kelvin]]s. The outer curved boundary is the spectral (or monochromatic) locus, with wavelengths shown in nanometers. The colors in this file are being specified using Adobe RGB. Areas outside the triangle cannot be accurately rendered since they are outside the gamut of Adobe RGB, therefore they have been interpreted. The colors depicted depend on the gamut and color accuracy of your display.
  • Twelve main pigment colors
  • [[Pencil]]s shown in various colors
  • Normalized typical human [[cone cell]] responses (S, M, and L types) to monochromatic spectral stimuli
  • The upper disk and the lower disk have exactly the same objective color, and are in identical gray surroundings; based on context differences, humans perceive the squares as having different reflectances, and may interpret the colors as different color categories; see [[checker shadow illusion]].
  • Subtractive color mixing: combining yellow and magenta yields red; combining all three primary colors together yields black.
  • ventral stream]] (purple) are shown. The ventral stream is responsible for color perception.

Wikipedia

Color

Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum. Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra and interference. For most humans, color are perceived in the visible light spectrum with three types of cone cells (trichromacy). Other animals may have a different number of cone cell types or have eyes sensitive to different wavelength, such as bees that can distinguish ultraviolet, and thus has a different color sensitivity range. Animal perception of color originates from different light wavelength or spectral sensitivity in cone cell types, which is then processed by the brain.

Colors have perceived properties such as hue, colorfulness (saturation) and luminance. Colors can also be additively mixed (commonly used for actual light) or subtractively mixed (commonly used for materials). If the colors are mixed in the right proportions, because of metamerism, they may look the same as a single-wavelength light. For convenience, colors can be organized in a color space, which when being abstracted as a mathematical color model can assign each region of color with a corresponding set of numbers. As such, color spaces are an essential tool for color reproduction in print, photography, computer monitors and television. The most well-known color models are RGB, CMYK, YUV, HSL and HSV.

Because the perception of color is an important aspect of human life, different colors have been associated with emotions, activity, and nationality. Names of color regions in different cultures can have different, sometimes overlapping areas. In visual arts, color theory is used to govern the use of colors in an aesthetically pleasing and harmonious way. The theory of color includes the color complements; color balance; and classification of primary colors (traditionally red, yellow, blue), secondary colors (traditionally orange, green, purple) and tertiary colors. The study of colors in general is called color science.

Examples of use of colours

3. Children of all colours emerge from Sadiq‘s kebab house, and heads of all colours are groomed at Poppy‘s salon, ready for the weekend‘s revelry.
4. Lasers with extremely sharp colours can now be constructed and with the frequency comb technique precise readings can be made of light of all colours.
5. The comfort that people feel when surrounded by certain colours is a reaction to how people perceive colours and how they affect emotions, according to Maseeh.
