COLOR THEORY Color Coding: The Color Wheel A color wheel is a tool that helps artists and others learn and visualize color relationships; it shows how primary colors can combine to create many other colors. Pigment Color An artist's traditional color wheel has 12 colors: 3 primary, 3 secondary, and 6 tertiary. Some materials let certain colors pass through them, and absorb other colors. These materials are called dyes or pigments. The primary colors of pigment are red, blue, and yellow. Mixing these primary colors of pigment gives us the three secondary colors: red+blue=violet, red+yellow=orange, and yellow+blue=green. Then, the primary colors mixed with the secondary give us the tertiary. They are: red- violet, red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, and blue-violet. Light Color The primary colors of light are red, blue, and green, and the secondary are yellow, cyan, and magenta. It is very important to know that mixing pigment and mixing light are very different. Red and green paint, for example, make brown paint, but red and green light make yellow light. When beams of light are mixed without any absorption, an additive process occurs. The more we mix the beams, the closer they get to being white light. However, when we put light through a color filter, a subtractive process occurs. Some wavelengths of light are being absorbed (subtracted) and we only see the wavelengths that are selectively given off. The Additive and Subtractive Models are explained further below. .

1 LIGHT PHYSICS Light and Lighting Francesco Anselmo Light Intro Light Animates and Reveals Architecture
1 LIGHT PHYSICS Light and Lighting Francesco Anselmo Light intro Light animates and reveals architecture. Architecture cannot fully exist without light, since without light there would be nothing to see. Yet in architectural design light is usually either expected from nature or developed as an add-on attachment very late in the design process. The course explores the symbiotic relationship between architecture and light. As much as light can reveal architecture, architecture can animate light, making it bounce, scatter, refract, altering its spectrum and colour perception, absorbing it or reﬂecting it, modulating its path and strength in both space and time. It aims at developing a sensibility and intuition to the qualities of light, whilst giving the physical and computational tools to explore and validate design ideas. 4 7 1 2 5 3 6 1 LIGHT PHYSICS 4 LIGHT ELECTRIC 7 LIGHT CONNECTED 2 LIGHT BIOLOGY 5 LIGHT ARCHITECTURE 3 LIGHT NATURAL 6 LIGHT VIRTUAL Reading list Books Free online resources Bachelard, Gaston.

Know the Color Wheel Primary Color
Introduction to Color/Hue Theory With Marlene Oaks Color affects us psychologically in nature, clothing, quilts, art and in decorating. The color choices we make create varying responses. Being able to use colors consciously and harmoniously can help us create spectacular results. Know the Color Wheel Primary color Primary color Primary color The color wheel is the basic tool for combining colors. The first circular color diagram was designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colors Color theory in regards to light says that all colors are within white light—think prism, and black is devoid of color. In pigment theory, white is the absence of color & black contains all colors. We will be discussing pigment theory here. The primary colors are red, yellow and blue and most other colors can be made by various combinations of them along with the neutrals. The three secondary colors (green, orange and purple) are created by mixing two primary colors. Another six tertiary colors are created by mixing primary and secondary colors adjacent to each other. The above illustration shows the color circle with the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. 1 Warm and cool colors The color circle can be divided into warm and cool colors. Warm colors are energizing and appear to come forward. Cool colors give an impression of calm, and appear to recede. White, black and gray are considered to be neutral.

Several Color Appearance Phenomena in Color Reproduction
2nd International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology (EMEIT-2012) Several Color Appearance Phenomena in Color Reproduction Qin-ling Dai1,a, Xiao-zhou Li2*,b, Ai Xu2 1 School of Materials Engineering (Southwest Forestry University), Kunming, China 650224 2 Key Laboratory of Pulp & Paper Science and Technology (Shandong Polytechnic University), Ministry of Education, Ji’nan, China, 250353 [email protected], bcorresponding author: [email protected] Keywords: color reproduction, color appearance, color appearance phenomena Abstract. Color perceived performance was influenced by various color appearance phenomena caused by varying viewing conditions in color reproduction process. It is necessary to do some research on the color appearance phenomena to represent the color appearance models qualitatively and quantitatively and accurate color reproduction easily. Only the phenomena were studied thoroughly, could the color transmission and reproduction be well performed. The color appearance and common color appearance phenomena of color reproduction were analyzed in this paper. And the basic theory of color appearance in color reproduction was also studied. Introduction High fidelity digital printing plays an important role in high fidelity color transmission and reproduction and it is one of the most important techniques to perform high fidelity color reproduction. High fidelity digital printing helps to perform accurate color reproduction of the original which can’t be performed because of paper and ink in traditional printing process [1]. In color printing, the color difference caused by paper, ink and viewing conditions is various. The difference is not only colorimetric difference but also different color appearance phenomena. While the different color appearance phenomenon is the leading factor to influence the color vision perceived.

KARINA TOSCANO MEDINA4, HÉCTOR M. PÉREZ MEANA5 Sección de Estudios de Posgrados e Investigación 1Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica Unidad Culhuacan Santa Ana #1000 Col. San Francisco Culhuacan, Del. Coyoacán C.P. 04430 MEXICO CITY [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: - In this paper a novel way to detect explicit content images is proposed using the YCbCr space color, moreover the color pixels percentage that are within the image is calculated which are susceptible to be a tone skin. The main goal to use this method is to apply to forensic analysis or pornographic images detection on storage devices such as hard disk, USB memories, etc. The results obtained using the proposed method are compared with Paraben’s Porn Detection Stick software which is one of the most commercial devices used for detecting pornographic images. The proposed algorithm achieved identify up to 88.8% of the explicit content images, and 5% of false positives, the Paraben’s Porn Detection Stick software achieved 89.7% of effectiveness for the same set of images but with a 6.8% of false positives. In both cases were used a set of 1000 images, 550 natural images, and 450 with highly explicit content. Finally the proposed algorithm effectiveness shows that the methodology applied to explicit image detection was successfully proved vs Paraben’s Porn Detection Stick software.

WHITE LIGHT and COLORED LIGHT Grades K–5
WHITE LIGHT AND COLORED LIGHT grades K–5 Objective This activity offers two simple ways to demonstrate that white light is made of different colors of light mixed together. The first uses special glasses to reveal the colors that make up white light. The second involves spinning a colorful top to blend different colors into white. Together, these activities can be thought of as taking white light apart and putting it back together again. Introduction The Sun, the stars, and a light bulb are all sources of “white” light. But what is white light? What we see as white light is actually a combination of all visible colors of light mixed together. Astronomers spread starlight into a rainbow or spectrum to study the specific colors of light it contains. The colors hidden in white starlight can reveal what the star is made of and how hot it is. The tool astronomers use to spread light into a spectrum is called a spectroscope. But many things, such as glass prisms and water droplets, can also separate white light into a rainbow of colors. After it rains, there are often lots of water droplets in the air. White sunlight passing through these droplets is spread apart into its component colors, creating a rainbow. In this activity, you will view the rainbow of colors contained in white light by using a pair of “Rainbow Glasses” that separate white light into a spectrum. ! SAFETY NOTE These glasses do NOT protect your eyes from the Sun. NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN!

Light, Color, and Atmospheric Optics
Light, Color, and Atmospheric Optics GEOL 1350: Introduction To Meteorology 1 2 • During the scattering process, no energy is gained or lost, and therefore, no temperature changes occur. • Scattering depends on the size of objects, in particular on the ratio of object’s diameter vs wavelength: 1. Rayleigh scattering (D/ < 0.03) 2. Mie scattering (0.03 ≤ D/ < 32) 3. Geometric scattering (D/ ≥ 32) 3 4 • Gas scattering: redirection of radiation by a gas molecule without a net transfer of energy of the molecules • Rayleigh scattering: absorption extinction 4 coefficient s depends on 1/ . • Molecules scatter short (blue) wavelengths preferentially over long (red) wavelengths. • The longer pathway of light through the atmosphere the more shorter wavelengths are scattered. 5 • As sunlight enters the atmosphere, the shorter visible wavelengths of violet, blue and green are scattered more by atmospheric gases than are the longer wavelengths of yellow, orange, and especially red. • The scattered waves of violet, blue, and green strike the eye from all directions. • Because our eyes are more sensitive to blue light, these waves, viewed together, produce the sensation of blue coming from all around us. 6 • Rayleigh Scattering • The selective scattering of blue light by air molecules and very small particles can make distant mountains appear blue. The blue ridge mountains in Virginia. 7 • When small particles, such as fine dust and salt, become suspended in the atmosphere, the color of the sky begins to change from blue to milky white. • These particles are large enough to scatter all wavelengths of visible light fairly evenly in all directions.

Color Wheel Page 1 Crayons Or Markers Color
Crayons or markers Color Wheel Cut-out (at the end of this description) String, about 3 feet Scissors Step 1 Color each wedge of the circle with a different rainbow color. Use heavy paper or a paper plate. Step 2 Cut out the circle, as well as the center holes (you can use a sharp pencil to poke through, too!). Step 3 Feed the string through the holes and tie the ends together. Step 4 Pick up the string, one side of the loop in each hand so the circle is in the middle. Wind the string by rotating it, in a “jump-rope”-like motion. The string should be a little loose with the circle pulling it down in the middle. Step 5 Move your hands out to pull the string tight to get the wheel spinning. When the string is fully unwound, move your hands closer together so it can wind in the other direction If it’s not spinning fast enough, keep winding! Step 6 As it spins, what happens to the colors? What do you notice? Color Wheel Page 1 What did you notice when you spun the wheel? You may have seen the colors seem to disappear! Where did they go? Let’s think about light and color, starting with the sun. The light that comes from the sun is actually made up of all different colors on the light spectrum. When light hits a surface, some of the colors are absorbed and some are reflected. We only see the colors that are reflected back.

Color Constancy and Contextual Effects on Color Appearance
Chapter 6 Color Constancy and Contextual Effects on Color Appearance Maria Olkkonen and Vebjørn Ekroll Abstract Color is a useful cue to object properties such as object identity and state (e.g., edibility), and color information supports important communicative functions. Although the perceived color of objects is related to their physical surface properties, this relationship is not straightforward. The ambiguity in perceived color arises because the light entering the eyes contains information about both surface reflectance and prevailing illumination. The challenge of color constancy is to estimate surface reflectance from this mixed signal. In addition to illumination, the spatial context of an object may also affect its color appearance. In this chapter, we discuss how viewing context affects color percepts. We highlight some important results from previous research, and move on to discuss what could help us make further progress in the field. Some promising avenues for future research include using individual differences to help in theory development, and integrating more naturalistic scenes and tasks along with model comparison into color constancy and color appearance research.
