Colour Theory Lecture 1

This lecture was all about how we perceive colour and how colour is created. It all comes down to the simple question; what colour s the sky? Before the lecture I would admittedly answer that question with 'blue' but in actuality, the sky isn't blue. In fact it was explained that in a way we are in fact being lied to about all the colours we see. Our brains perceive colour by light bouncing off an object and going into our eyes, then when it hits the eye a rainbow is formed. This is hard to describe, but reminds me of the album cover for Dark Side of the Moon.



I found this lecture interesting because it asked the question of does colour really exist? If in pitch blackness, when we touch an object we can't see the colour, does it really exist at all or are we being lied to?
