Looking at illusions involved with colour such as the same colour illusion shown above. Squares A and B appear to be different shades of grey but in the second picture the line joining them shows them to be the same. Very interested in illusions and how perceptions of a colour vary from person to person.
I've been looking at how we percieve colours, colour blindness etc and found out that women percieve a broader spectrum of colour in the red orange range, and that men are more likely to be colour blind. This is because Women have two X-chromosomes; men have only one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome. Because this color vision gene resides on the X-chromosome, rare detrimental changes at this gene cause color-blindness in males, whereas females are likely to have at least one good copy of the gene. Yay.
Looked at Goethean Science, and his approach to colour theory. It was dismissed in his time in favour of Newton's particle theories on light because Goethe's approach to science was intuitive rather than rationalistic but now has been given the credit it deserves. His theory that light was a wave ost out to Newtons particle theory but now we know that both are true... remember the experiments from 7th form physics, light has both particle and wave properties.
The above diagram shows light and dark spectra – when the coloured edges overlap in a light spectrum, green results; when they overlap in a dark spectrum, magenta results.
