world where we could only see black and white and shades of gray. It is almost
impossible for us to imagine as color defines our world.
The love of color exists for everyone, but has an a additional aspect for design professionals. Forms , colours, and their arrangements are the foundation elements of design, and of these elements, color is arguably the most powerful weapon in the designers arsenal.
A skilled designer/artist understands what color is, how it is seen, why it changes, it's suggestive power, and how to apply that knowledge to enhance the quality of the designs.
Whether the product is a graphic design, an item of apparel, an interior, automobile, harder, or anything else , good colouring can determine its success or failure in the respective fields.
Light on the color
Light is the source of all color and our sense of sight functions only when light
reaches the eye. There is no perceptible color without natural or artificial light.
Poetically put, light is the messenger and color is the message.
To see fine details precisely, the eye contains a lens that can focus light onto the
sensitive cells within the retina, triggering nerve impulses connected to the brain, where a visual image is formed. There are two types of light sensitive cells called rods and cones. Rods work in dim light, while cones, responding only in bright daylight, contain pigments sensitive to the different spectral wavelengths.
Visible light waves are among several forms of electromagnetic energy and the
forms of energy differ as they travel at different wavelengths. The quantity of
electromagnetic energy determines the luminance.
Specific waves of energy are
referred to as the “visible spectrum” and every hue has its own wavelength which determines its place in the spectral order. Between each of the hues there are gradations of color.
