Color Theory and Emotional Effects

1. Describe Color and it's effects on emotions. Use the appropriate vocabulary of color in your posting.

 - Color is the visual representation of light particles being received by our eye. Color is created by the various oscillating waves of light, each with its' own respective hue. Our ROYGBIV/UV spectrum are the wavelengths perceptible to human beings but do not make up all of the wavelengths that exist.  

2. What is a theoretical aspect of color that most intrigues/fascinates you? Why?

- The most amazing aspect of color to me is the fact that our eyes do not see color, our brain creates color as an interpretation of the information it is provided. I find this remarkable because I appreciate the power of our brains. It is the most complex and efficient computing machine in the world. The way our brain processes information and amalgamates it into what we know as that we understand as our five sense - is truly amazing.

3. In the Color videos, what made the biggest impact on you in regards to color and it's effects on emotions?

- What made the biggest impact on me was, the experiment with the Himba Tribe in "The Science of Color Perception." I was so shocked when they revealed that one of the green squares was a different shade of green. More over, I was even more taken back when the people of the Himba could not distinguish the teal square from the green squares. This reveals a very interesting connection between geology and adaptation and just how much of who and what we are is determined by our nature.
