  2. Chromostereopsis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis

    Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion whereby the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red–blue or red–green colors, but can also be perceived with red–grey or blue–grey images. [1] [2] Such illusions have been reported for over a century and have generally been attributed to some form of chromatic ...

  3. Theory of Colours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_Colours

    By placing his prism in full sunlight, and placing a black cardboard circle in the middle the same size as Newton's hole — a dark spectrum (i.e., a shadow surrounded by light) is produced; we find there a violet-blue along the top edge, and red-yellow along the bottom edge—and where these edges overlap, we find (extraspectral) magenta.

  4. Color vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision

    Color vision. Colorless, green, and red photographic filters as imaged by camera. Color vision, a feature of visual perception, is an ability to perceive differences between light composed of different frequencies independently of light intensity. Color perception is a part of the larger visual system and is mediated by a complex process ...

  5. On Vision and Colours - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Vision_and_Colours

    On Vision and Colors (originally translated as On Vision and Colours; German: Ueber das Sehn und die Farben) is a treatise [1] by Arthur Schopenhauer that was published in May 1816 when the author was 28 years old. Schopenhauer had extensive discussions with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the poet's Theory of Colours of 1810, in the months ...

  6. Chromatic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration

    Chromatic aberration. In optics, chromatic aberration ( CA ), also called chromatic distortion, color aberration, color fringing, or purple fringing, is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same point. [1] [2] It is caused by dispersion: the refractive index of the lens elements varies with the wavelength of light.

  7. RYB color model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model

    RYB (an abbreviation of redyellow–blue) is a subtractive color model used in art and applied design in which red, yellow, and blue pigments are considered primary colors. [1] Under traditional color theory, this set of primary colors was advocated by Moses Harris, Michel Eugène Chevreul, Johannes Itten and Josef Albers, and applied by ...

  8. Complementary colors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors

    In the traditional RYB color model, the complementary color pairs are red – green, yellowpurple, and blue – orange. Opponent process theory suggests that the most contrasting color pairs are red–green and blue–yellow. The black - white color pair is common to all the above theories.

  9. Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(optics)

    Within optics, dispersion is a property of telecommunication signals along transmission lines (such as microwaves in coaxial cable) or the pulses of light in optical fiber . In optics, one important and familiar consequence of dispersion is the change in the angle of refraction of different colors of light, [2] as seen in the spectrum produced ...
