colour research

there a few studies in this book that were interesting and somewhat inspired me and somewhat supports my RGB project.

Moses Harris
he presented red, yellow and blue as the primary hues, but on screen the primary colours are red, green and blue.

Michel Eugene Chevreul
he was a french chemist and was part by a weaving studio that specialised in dye. He investigated into colour and its reactions. And he verified that all hues could be obtained from the mixtures of primaries of red, yellow and blue.

Edwald Hering
concerned with the theories of colour perception. He established his primaries as red, yellow, blue and green. He created a diagram using these colours and his diagram was based on perception as opposed to colour mixing.

Alfred Hicketheir
he was a painter and was deeply concerned with colour reproduction in printing through the multicolour gravure process.

the theories of the work above show that there are only 3-4 basic colours needed to create any new colours and that they are all perceived differently based on the hues and mixes. however, they all are concerned with re-creating the colours through mixing as opposed to mixing and recreating on a screen/computer. and this is what is leading me to create a screen-based project using RGB.
