How does Color occur and what does it have to do with light?
Good morning friends!!! In fact I have changed my speech 2 times, how not, I have been writing this all night. And when I want to load I have to replace good wishes to be good morning.
This time I will connect with the genius in steemit, because in this post I will discuss about Color and Light and its Criteria.
What is called color?
Color is one element that can not stand alone. The appearance of a color is always influenced and determined by other colors around it. Color is also the first physical appearance that reaches our eyes that distinguishes something from the others. Whether it's a dead object or a living thing.
Colors can be seen because there is interaction or because there is interplay between the colors themselves. Blue color with the same level of lighting will look different appearance when placed on a different background or closer to a different color.
|| Color can be defined objectively or physically as the nature of light that is exposed, or subjectively or psychologically as part of the visual sense experience. Objectively or physically, color can be given by the wavelength. Seen from the wavelength, the visible light by the eye is one of the forms of energy jets that are the narrow sections of the electromagnetic waves. ||
Brewster Theory This theory was first proposed in 1831, the theory that simplifies the colors that exist in nature into 4 groups of colors. And the four color groups, are:
|| primary colors | secondary | tertiary | and neutral colors ||
This color group is often arranged in a brewster color circle. The brewster color circle is able to explain color contrasting theory (complementary), complementary split, triad, and tetrad.|| Wikipedia ||
While the neutral color is the result of the mixture of the three basic colors in the proportion of 1: 1: 1. This color often appears as a counterweight to the contrasting colors in nature. Usually the right mixture will lead to black.
In addition to Brewster Theory, Isaac Newton has also described in his theory of color, in conclusion: When done splitting the color spectrum of sunlight, it will be found the colors are diverse consisting of:
|| Red | Orange | Yellow | Green | Blue | and Ungun ||

So the colors we often see in the form of rainbow of the sky. In other terms, the Rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon of a parallel, parallel-colored light visible in the sky or any other medium. In the sky, the rainbow appears as a light bow with its tip leading to the horizon at a time of light rain. Rainbows can also be seen around the swift waterfall.
Then why did the Rainbow happen and why did it color?
Of all the colors emitted by the Sun, the colors of the rainbow are the colors that can be captured by the human eye. When the light with the colors of the rainbow are mixed together, then what is captured by the human eye is the impression of a "white" color. When the color "white" is about a green object for example, then all other colors absorbed by the object while the green color reflected, so our eyes catch the green color on the object.
Basically the Rainbow occurs when the white light of the Sun is refracted by the grains of water in the air. Different colors of light are refracting or bending in different directions, so that each color becomes visible separately. As a result we see a colorful rainbow.
Then what about Color Black & White?
Does Black and White include Colors?
If a scientist asks you, you'll get a physical answer: "Black is not a color, white is color." Ask an artist like me, Then you will get another answer: "Black is color, while white is not". Sure, Because we did not find any white color there except the color of the paper.
Then whether both are not colors?
After understanding and repeating the above writing about the understanding of color, I can say that Black is not a color, because black is a representation of the absence of all the spectrum of light in nature. Black gives a diverse impression in the human mind, depending on the situation and mood of the person who sees it. At a time black creates a frightening impression, mystery and darkness. At other times black had a very different impression.
The theory that black is a color is a subtractive color theory. This theory departs from the division of color. The primary colors consist of yellow, blue, and red. So if you combine all the primary colors, then you can get black.

What about white, is it considered not a color anyway?
Some people say that white is also considered not a color so black and white TV is not considered a color TV. But you can see again more clearly illustration above picture.
But from the glasses of science, white is the color, because it is a representation of the all-light spectrum of light that can be perceived by the senses of human vision, as opposed to black.
So, from some tiori that has been presented and proved that Black is not a color. Black objects absorb all colors of the visible spectrum and do not reflect any color spectrum to the eye. While White is the color. White reflects all the colors of the visible spectrum of light by the eye.
Conclusion and Feedback from the author!
Color is very influential for human life, many positive impacts caused by color. Color is also a source of tranquility and joy for humans.
Empirically, bright colors are preferred by children because they are much more attractive than black and white. Over time, some people bring their childhood habits to grow up and marry. Color choice becomes a principle when choosing clothes (at important moments), knick-knacks, to paint the house.
Even the color factor sometimes creates a big problem with the couple if it can not be agreed upon properly. So how big is the color effect for the development of our soul, to the color so meaningful:
- Color affects the psychological effect of performance
With regard to emotional change, the choice of color is very influential on one's performance. Examples of the results showed, some people who see the red color resulted in an increase in heart rate so that additional adrenaline pumping into the bloodstream. So no wonder, someone who chooses to wear a bright red costume will look excited. This option is also seen in the number of small to large companies that deliberately force their workers to use bright red uniforms in work.
- Color supports emotional change
In art therapy, color is associated with emotions, a person's mental or physical state. A study was conducted on a group of people. The study was conducted in an office engaged in services.
The office chooses a pink concept for all office colors. Both walls, doors, windows, curtains, to accessories (desks, chairs, paintings, books, phones, and uniforms). What happened? People who used to go into the office with an emotional attitude, braking and changing the tone of his voice to be lower. No more anger.
- Color affects kinship
Happiness comes from home. Someone who is always comfortable with the condition of his house will be successful in the problems of work, friendship, achievement and solemn worship. Factors all that can start from a choice of colors that are favored residents of the house.
All of me, may be useful!
