Goethe's Color Theory >> Perception


i'm just beginning to read this bear. what interests me about goethe's theories is that he's interested in how we perceive color...
...the eye especially demands completeness, and seeks to eke out the color wheel in itself. a purple color suggested by yellow contains red and blue; orange, which responds to blue, is composed of yellow and red; green, uniting blue and yellow, demands red; and so thru all gradations of the most complicated combinations.
i'll continue to share more things i find interesting as my reading progresses.
