Did you know that a shadow that appears gray to you really has a color? T. D. Jones, assistant professor of design, has made a "light-mixing" machine which clears it easily and paintsists have been slaves of their paints.
In high school we were taught that red, yellow, and blue were primary colors. This color theory was based on pigment color alone, and now appears that these pigments do not match the true colors as the eye sees them.
Mr. Jones uses red, green, and blue (slightly touched with purple) lights in the color machine. These are the primary colors as the eye sees them. When these lights are properly mixed in intensity, they give a white light, showing that white is all colors and that black is no color. Any other colors can be produced by "mixing" the lights.
This light theory opens up new possibilities to the artist and color photographer. He can put color into a painting that the eye really sees
