3. WHAT IS COLOR
Color is visual nerves register colour in terms of the attributes of color. For
color we separate in 4 team, which is Primary colour, Secondary colour, Tirtery
colour and Neutral colour.
The people first understand by 19th century is physiologist Ewald Hering (1834
- 1918). He show the way how to arise all color red , blue and yellow.
COLOR HISTORY
Isaac Newton made a study of color starting at the age of 23 in 1666 and
developed the useful Newton color circle which gives insight about
complementary colors and additive color mixing. He realized that some colors
(magenta, purple) could not be produced as spectral colors. One of his
contributions was the idea that white light is light containing all wavelengths of
the visible spectrum. He demonstrated this fact with experiments on the
dispersion of light in glass prisms.
Thomas Young suggested the threefold character of color perception in 1802
and speculated that there were three different types of color sensitive receptors
in the eye.
In the 1860s, James Clerk Maxwell explored the use of three primary colors and
realized that no additive combination of three primary colors can cover the
entire gamut of perceivable hues. He showed that the set of primaries was not
unique, but that spectral primaries more widely separated in wavelength could
be used to produce a wider range of perceived hues. He also realized that with
some subtraction, the entire gamut of perceived colors could be covered.
Maxwell recognized that the chromaticity (hue and saturation) of a colored
surface is relatively insensitive to the brightness. Maxwell's work could be
considered to be the basis for modern colorimetry.

16. Rationale
My final painting for color study is a boy seet at garden chair in the raining night.My final panting
show a boy hensitation and feel lost. Why I want to draw this type of picture, because that is reflect
my prersonality. For the meaning I draw tree start at the hair is because the tree mean trouble and the
raining night is strong the feeling of lonely.
The color of 8 color I choosing Black , White, Blue gray, Blue green, Green grey, Blue violet, yellow
and red.The main color of my final painting is Blue, and helper color I choose the color beside.
and I’m using Split completementary to make my painting become more nice.The reason I choose
blue color become main color is because blue is cold color, it suitable to bring out the emotion of my
painting. For additional, I using blue grey,green grey to strong the feeling.Because of hole painting
used cold color to do, it will look boring, so I add some hot color to bring the color tone out.
