The Science of Color (2 Rev ed)

Focusing on the principles and observations that are foundations of modern color science and written for a general scientific audience, this book broadly covers essential topics in the interdisciplinary field of colour, drawing from physics, physiology and psychology.

The book begins by tracing scientific thinking about colour since the 17th century.

This historical perspective provides an introduction to the fundamental questions in color science, by following advances as well as misconceptions over more than 300 years.
