Light and color phenomena have produced a fascination amongst humans dating back to immemorial times, occupying an anomalous space made of complementary opposites: where the ascetic meets the sensualist. Physicists, chemists, philosophers, color theorists, historians, psychologists, mystics, and artists have explored the various dimensions of color from their respective fields: symbolism; the sociopolitical history embedded in color’s usage; the emotional effects that color arouses; and the perceptual phenomena that show us that color cannot be spoken of in absolutes—only as subjective experiences of exposure to specific wavelengths.
