Interesting fact about colour!

I just thought this was fascinating: Magenta is not a colour!
Please read about this. As a painter I find colour and the human eye absolutely intriguing.

Hi, Jodi - yes, that was fascinating!  I majored in Cognitive Science in college (study of cognition … information processing in people and computers) - and have continued to really be intrigued by perception.  The phrase “it’s a product of our imaginations” takes on a whole lot of new layers in this context :-).


Thank you -


Sylvia

Hi Sylvia!

Wow. What an interesting field. I majored more to the other side of it: Fine Art.
I keep thinking I need to ask you questions! I will come up with some soon….
Yes. The fact that something can exist because our brains perceive it, is incredible. Even if it is only the perception that gives it it’s existence. Very Plato ;)
Thanks Sylvia.

I found this site and downloaded this tool to help on color.  it’s free
http://www.colorjack.com/ They have some razzle dazzle color that was in the zone or wavelength of magenta.  Color is one of my favorite perceptions out of the 57 perceptions.

Hi ~KES!

Thanks for sharing this with us. Very cool colour wheel! It is such a good thing to be aware of in any creative field. It gives a very clear understanding of our colour perception. Including complimentary colours…. one of my favourite concepts. :)
