The world’s most elusive colour is worth billions – if we can find it The discovery of bright yet stable pigments is vanishingly rare, making them hugely valuable. Now chemist Mas Subramanian is unpicking the atomic code of colour and homing in on our most-wanted hue

This article is a great reminder that even with centuries of pigment innovation behind us, the quest for the “ultimate red” isn’t over. There are still colors out there waiting to be discovered.

Largement ignorés dans les arts plastiques, ils sont pourtant des outils indispensables pour étudier la perception de la couleur. #art #photography #colorscience

Les travaux de David Lewis MacAdam au Research Laboratories de la Eastman Kodak Company ont profondément transformé l’étude de l’optique physiologique avec l’industrialisation de la photographie couleur. #photography #colorscience #optics #color

यह जानना दिलचस्प है कि कपड़ों का रंग आपकी स्किन टोन को कैसे बदलता है। अलग-अलग फैब्रिक रोशनी को अलग तरह से रिफ्लेक्ट करते हैं, जिससे चेहरा कभी ब्राइट, कभी वॉर्म, तो कभी डल या ज्यादा वाइब्रेंट दिख सकता है। यह फैशन नहीं, पूरी तरह साइंस है, कलर साइंस और लाइट फिज़िक्स का कमाल।

Color targets on a table, including Macbeth ColorChecker, CC DC, CC SG, and Avian Next Generation Target

Teaching about color targets -- uses, important characteristics, history, variety. From the venerable ColorChecker to the Next Generation Target. Also Kodak's Tri-Shirleys! #ColorScience #MCSL

A core insight from the discussion emphasizes the critical difference between color models (like RGB) and color spaces (like sRGB). Understanding this distinction is vital for accurate color representation, especially in CGI and VFX. #ColorScience 2/5

Avez-vous remarqué les subtiles écarts de tons de Max Bill? C’est un détail auquel je ne prêtais pas attention jusqu’a ce que je travaille sur des accords de couleurs complémentaires plus réalistes à partir des travaux d’Yves Le Grand. #painting #art #colorscience

En utilisant une définition plus précise des accords de complémentaires, fondées sur des mesures spectrales, le pragmatisme de la peinture de Paul Cézanne est apparu d’un coup dans mon exploration systématique des pigments. #painting #colorscience
