  2. Lippmann plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lippmann_plate

    For this method Lippmann won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1908. [9] The colour image can only be viewed in the reflection of a diffuse light source from the plate, making the field of view limited, and therefore not easily copied with conventional techniques. The method was very insensitive with the emulsions of the time and it never came into ...

  3. Color photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_photography

    The first color photograph made by the three-color method suggested by James Clerk Maxwell in 1855, taken in 1861 by Thomas Sutton. The subject is a colored ribbon, usually described as a tartan ribbon. Color photography is photography that uses media capable of capturing and reproducing colors.

  4. Subtractive color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtractive_color

    This idealized model is the essential principle of how dyes and pigments are used in color printing and photography, where the perception of color is elicited after white light passes through microscopic "stacks" of partially absorbing media allowing some wavelengths of light to reach the eye and not others, and also in painting, whether the ...

  5. Color - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color

    Colored pencils. Color (or colour in Commonwealth English; see spelling differences) is the visual perception based on the electromagnetic spectrum.Though color is not an inherent property of matter, color perception is related to an object's light absorption, reflection, emission spectra, and interference.

  6. History of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photography

    Included were methods for viewing a set of three color-filtered black-and-white photographs in color without having to project them, and for using them to make full-color prints on paper. [ 63 ] The first widely used method of color photography was the Autochrome plate, a process inventors and brothers Auguste and Louis Lumière began working ...

  7. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Photons interact with an object by some combination of reflection, absorption and transmission. Some materials, such as plate glass and clean water, transmit much of the light that falls on them and reflect little of it; such materials are called optically transparent. Many liquids and aqueous solutions are highly transparent.

  8. Chromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromism

    Classical dyes and pigments produce color by the absorption and reflection of light; these are the materials that make a major impact on the color of our daily lives. In 2000, world production of organic dyes was 800,000 tonnes and of organic pigments, 250,000 tonnes and the volume has grown at a steady rate throughout the early years of this ...

  9. Kubelka–Munk theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubelka–Munk_theory

    In optics, the Kubelka–Munk theory devised by Paul Kubelka [1] [2] and Franz Munk, is a fundamental approach to modelling the appearance of paint films. As published in 1931, [3] the theory addresses "the question of how the color of a substrate is changed by the application of a coat of paint of specified composition and thickness, and especially the thickness of paint needed to obscure the ...
