Color science is the study of how we perceive color and the physical properties of light. It involves understanding how different wavelengths of light correspond to different colors, as described by the visible spectrum. This field combines physics, biology, and psychology to explain how colors are created, mixed, and perceived by the human eye. In color science, concepts like additive color mixing and subtractive color mixing are essential. Additive mixing occurs when light colors combine, such as in screens, while subtractive mixing involves pigments, like in painting. Researchers also explore how colors can affect emotions and behaviors, contributing to fields like design and marketing.
