Colour is everywhere. From blue skies to red sunsets, from the
first flowers in spring to the blazing leaves of autumn. But what
is the nature of colour? Scientific books present a variety of
mechanical explanations but this approach leaves colour as a whole
unexplained. In the nineteenth century, the German poet and
scientist Johann Wolfgang von Goethe investigated a wide range of
colour phenomena and discovered the underlying principles that
govern colour itself. This lavishly illustrated book brings
Goethe's pioneering research up to date. Through descriptions of
simple observations and ingenious experiments, the reader will
discover a series of colour phenomena that includes afterimages,
coloured shadows, colour mixing, and prismatic and polarisation
colours. Seeing Colour is a thought-provoking read for colour
enthusiasts and experts alike, and an accessible route to a new way
of seeing colour.
