Understanding Color

Colour theory is the study of colour and its [position:place] in art. Humans have been thinking about colours for thousands of years but modern colour theory really arose in the 1800s, when it began to move from science into a pure art. A knowledge of colour theory does require some understanding of [simple:basic] scientific principles about colour but much of modern colour theory is about the way people [see:perceive] , think about and interact with colours - from those used on walls to those [chosen:selected] for a company logo. Colour theory is not only something you see applied to [art:paintings] ; you can also see it in graphic design, photography, fashion, animation and even video games.
