<strong>Background</strong><br />
<strong>Color</strong> Science<br />
What is COLOR?<br />
<strong>Color</strong> results from an interaction between light, object, and the viewer.<br />
It is light that has been modified by an object in such a manner that the<br />
viewer—such as the human visual system—perceives the modified light<br />
as a distinct color.<br />
All three elements must be present for color as we know it to exist.<br />
Light<br />
Light is the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.<br />
Humans have sensors that can interpret the spectrum from 480-760nm<br />
If the sensors detect ALL visible wavelengths at once, the brain perceives<br />
white<br />
.<br />
If no wavelengths are detected, there is NO light present and the brain<br />
perceives black.<br />
