Hi,
Colour is still a mystery, although many scientist have found out many advanced theory's of colour, still it is a fantastic subject to study, to experiment and to explore. Many people know about color wheel, the primary, secondary and the tertiary colours. The real fun in understanding colors is by experimenting with colors or rather playing with colours. The more you study about it you learn more. Each colour has an unique character, a special place in the artist palette and a wonderful history. Not only this, it is also fascinating to understand the colour name and its meaning. For example., French ultra Marine is a cool blue colour. The name is because to get the raw material for this color, people used to cross the sea. Marine means sea and ultra means beyond. So the name French ultra Marine.
Similarly, Persian blue (one of my favorite) was discovered in the lab, but the intention was to get a kind of red and during the process Persian blue was discovered. This is the fun part in learning colour history.
The next interesting area is colour theory and colour mixing. 100% of students like to learn more of colour mixing by doing it. They feel like a game and if they come with the right colour after mixing, they are more than delighted.
Try giving a search on the word "Color" and you will see many websites,books,blog on the topic. One of the interesting experience i had during a research about colour is that my thirst to know more about colours and to experiment never ends. This text about colours may end in a few more lines but not the experiments i did with colour. I have found out many interesting facts and i am planning to use it for humanity.
Do write your experiences with colors. Let the world know your interesting experiences.
Bye
