Why Study The Advanced Color Theory

By Alta Alexander


Many objects on this world appear differently. The difference comes about by use of many dyes available to paint them making each look unique. Many dyes have been manufactured over time and stocked in the market for sale. Preparation of these paints requires the technicians in charge of the entire process to be knowledgeable. A very useful part that any person should be conversant with is advanced color theory that enables formation of new inks.

Many theories have been developed over time. Despite having some similar components, this theory is very useful and should be studied. It deals with classification of dyes where by it gives two major groups in which any available dye can fall in. These groups are the primary and secondary pigments. Research found out that the primary category comprised of three commonly used Chroma which are red, green and blue. This grouped forms the backbone of studying chromatography.

The other category composed of several dyes that are initially made from the primary ones. They include magenta, cyan, and yellow among others. It is important to note that the dyes included in this category do not originally exist. They are formed from the primary dyes through mixing of different paints in some set ratios.

When developing this model of study, the scientists made some assumptions that aimed at improving credibility of their models. They argued out that all dyes present can mix perfectly forming one solution whose pigmentation is very uniform. They attributed any instances of paints refusing to form a uniform solution to effects brought about by impurities and differences in densities of paints. However, this is not true since from the present day experiments they have proved that not all dyes are miscible.

It was found that individual perception is what influences how we see things. When different objects are painted, a glance at them generates some formation of mental judgment of how they look like. This is brought about by the light reflected from them that meets our eyes. Theories found that light from outside of objects appear green while that coming from the interior side is more of magenta.

In order for painters to perform quality work in painting, they should have prior knowledge on different colors. This enables them to come up with paints of desired pigmentation that will produce good results. This plays an advantageous role where more paints can be made from the present ones without necessarily going for new ones.

Some traits were found to be unique for different paints. One of this trait is ability to give off light. Light colored paints have high reflective ability thus they appear brighter. Dull colored paints absorb more light and reflect less. To increase the amount reflected they are combined with white which is very reflective.

Saturation of a paint can also be evaluated. This is done using special beams of light to determine how close a paint is to appearing grey. Those that are near grey are termed as being unsaturated. Those that do not give a look near grey are saturated and the levels vary.
