"The Basic Color Theory" is consisted of:
- The Color Wheel.
- Color Harmony.
- The context of how colors are used.
- The Colors of the Wheel: A Color wheel is disk-shaped divided equally into 12 sections, each displaying a different color according to its "Pigment" values. Its primary colors are (Red, Blue, and Yellow). Pigments are colors that can't be mixed or formed by any other combination of colors.
- Color Harmony: Color Harmony is the art and science of putting together colors that look pleasing to the eye.
- The context of how colors are used: Recently, teachers are allowing students to create their own color wheel after knowing the meaning of complementary and clash colors as a way of painting their own "within" character. Painting with colors became "Personal".
- Universal Effect.
- Cultural Effect.
- Individual Effect.
- Behavioral Response: Which is natural, like feeling energetic, passionate, and powerful once you experience the color "Red" and feeling totally the opposite when you experience the color "Blue", which drives you to be calm and relaxed.
- Learned Response: Which grows with us along the way of our life and being affected by experiences.

- " I'm Synesthetic. That means I mix certain senses in my head. A lot of people have it; some see colors when they hear music, others can taste words or smell colors. I have Grapheme - Color Synesthesia, for one. That on is quite common; I see letters and numbers as colors. I can also see time in space and color."
- "I can see time! It's as if I'm in the centre and I'm turning around slowly as the year goes by" says Holly Branigan, a scientist at Edinburgh University.
- "If you are a Synaesthetic with a red A, your A has always been red and will always be red." says Dr. Julian Simner, a psychologist from Edinburgh University.
- What is color Blindness?
“Color blindness isn’t much different than being tone deaf. Just because you can’t hear the particular notes, doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy the music.” said an Optometrist.
The term “Color Blindness” is a bit misleading – most “Color Blind” people see colors, but their color perception is limited and inaccurate. In simple words, Color Blindness is the inability to distinguish the differences between certain colors. It has been said “It is a man’s problem” reference to the fact that 8% of color blindness cases are of men, and only 0.5% of women!
- How does it happen?
Color Blindness occurs when there is a problem with the color-seeing pigments in certain nerve cells of the eye. These cells are called cones which exist at the back of the eye. Most forms of color blindness are genetic and inherited conditions.
- What kind of troubles do they face?
They face troubles with traffic lights, chemistry labs experiments, directions, cooking, etc.
- What are the types of Color Blindness?
- Red Deficiency. (Protan Condition)
- Green Deficiency. (Deuteran Condition)
- Blue Deficiency. (Very Rare)

The most severe form of color blindness is Achromatopsia, which you can say is like living in a film noir! Everything is Grey! TV is still black and white!
- How do they see colors?
The colorblind have a narrowed color perception. Green is still green and red is still red most of the time, but not as vibrant or bright as a non colorblind would see it.
A funny fact: Many colorblind people aren't even aware that they have a ‘Color Blindness condition”.
* In the video attached, we will see Neil Harbisson, a Achromatopsia person explaining how did he conquered his black and white world with colors.
Question: Is there a Pink color?
Answer: White light contains all wavelengths of visible light, and when you pass it through a prism (o reflect in a raindrop) the different wavelengths spread out. So, looking at a rainbow will show you all of the possible wavelengths of light. Is there a pink in ROYGBV? Nope. In order for something to look pink, it must reflect (or emit) all the colors of the rainbow EXCEPT for green. Sp pink is made up of a bunch of other colors of light…it doesn’t exist on its own.
Question: Does that mean that other colors like Grey, Silver, and Black (Whatever is not shown in a rainbow) are experiencing the same?
Answer: Grey us just Dim white light (i.e. all colors mixed together), black us just very Dim (or no) light, and silver is not exactly a color. Look at anything “Silvery” and you will see it is just reflecting the world around.
