Notes:
1. Males tend to have more problems with color, like color blindness.
2. 8% of men and .5% of females have some kind of color deficiency.
3. Every human has three types of cones in their eyes, this is why we are able to see color. (S-Cone, L-Cone, M-Cone)
4. S-Cones are connected with the color blue, L-Cones are connect with red, and M-Cones are connected with the color green.
5. Cones are more active during the day or an bright place, and at night since cones aren’t very functional in the dark are taken over by rods.
The reading about Geothe and Johannes Itten was interesting. I agree to what Geothe believed in which colors have a connection to peoples emotions and color has a psychological impact on people. When I look at different designs and artworks, color does have a huge impact on how I see the piece of work and how that piece of work interacts with my feelings and thoughts. I really feel that Itten’s triangular diagram shows a good representation of the different hues each color has.
Reading about the evolution of color was interesting and how the color relationship was created around 384 B.C. It was a surprise to me that the color wheel was discovered by Newton, when he bent the spectrum. The color wheel has been evolving over the years with new primary colors begin added. and i thought that was intersecting. As i keep reading i hope to learn more about color relationships and color mixing.
