Understanding color is complex and can be studied in many contexts:

• Physics of color: electromagnetic spectrum
• Biology/mechanics of the eye: rods and cones
• Cognitive
• Emotional
• Hardware representation (monitors, printers, photographs,...)

Below, we examine these in more detail:

• Brief Look at Color on the Computer
• Physics of color: electromagnetic spectrum.
• Biology of Vision
• Color Perceptions in Humans
• Emotional Response to Color
• Tristimulus Model and the biology of the eye.
• Other Color Models
• Additive vs Subtractive Colors
• Color Theory at Brown
