The Role Of Advanced Color Theory

By Alta Alexander


Many objects on this world appear differently. The difference comes about by use of many dyes available to paint them making each look unique. Many dyes have been manufactured over time and stocked in the market for sale. Preparation of these paints requires the technicians in charge of the entire process to be knowledgeable. A very useful part that any person should be conversant with is advanced color theory that enables formation of new inks.

The study of this theory is very detailed since it requires the person conducting the study to have a rich background on different forms of pigmentation present. There are two major categories of Chroma which are the primary and secondary pigments. Primary pigments include red, green and blue and are commonly denoted as RGB in chromatography. These components are very useful since they form the background of formation of other paints.

The other category composed of several dyes that are initially made from the primary ones. They include magenta, cyan, and yellow among others. It is important to note that the dyes included in this category do not originally exist. They are formed from the primary dyes through mixing of different paints in some set ratios.

When developing this model of study, the scientists made some assumptions that aimed at improving credibility of their models. They argued out that all dyes present can mix perfectly forming one solution whose pigmentation is very uniform. They attributed any instances of paints refusing to form a uniform solution to effects brought about by impurities and differences in densities of paints. However, this is not true since from the present day experiments they have proved that not all dyes are miscible.

The vision formed when we look at different objects was found to be influenced by the light reflected to our eyes from the objects. This leads to formation of visions that gives the brain the perception on the general appearance of certain objects. Theorists found that light from the inside of an object tend to display green characteristic while that reflected from the upper side has magenta traits. This is what influences how we interpret visions.

The study of this subject is very important in our lives since it influences how things appear in the world. Painters and scientists rely mainly on this knowledge to mix different paints leading to generation of more paints. It has also enabled classification of all available colors making their use and selection rather easier by other users who are not well informed in this field.

Some traits were found to be unique for different paints. One of this trait is ability to give off light. Light colored paints have high reflective ability thus they appear brighter. Dull colored paints absorb more light and reflect less. To increase the amount reflected they are combined with white which is very reflective.

Saturation of a paint can also be evaluated. This is done using special beams of light to determine how close a paint is to appearing grey. Those that are near grey are termed as being unsaturated. Those that do not give a look near grey are saturated and the levels vary.
