THE COLOURTHE COLOUR
María Mercado-Martín
We can find colours everywhere around us
In the animal world
On plants and flowers
In beautiful landscapes
Also our cities are full of colours
Just think for a few seconds how our world would look like without
colours
Our life in black and white would be very different
Dark gray peppers, white traffic lights, a gray sea instead of a blue one...
We will lose a lot of information and beauty
Now we know the importance and usefulness of color. Let´s now
learn more about them
How do we see colours?
Colours are captured by the eye and reach the brain via the optic nerve
In 1666 Isaac Newton discovered that when sunlight passes through a glass prism, it is decomposed in 7 colours. These are the 7
colours of the rainbow
Water raindrops work as a glass prism and break up the sunlight into a rainbow
Rainbow colors are 7 and always appear in the same order:
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet
Newton´s experiment proved that the colour is LIGHT
Now let´s see how colours are arranged and classified
They are the colours that can be combined to make all the range of colours.
