A Brief History of Colour Theory: Foundations of Colour Science

This book offers a comprehensive introduction in to the various theories  of colour and how they developed over the centuries and millennia.
As colour is the perception of light by our brains, the book captures  not only the physical phenomena but also psychological and philosophical  aspects of colours. It starts with ancient studies of Greek  philosophers and their insights into light and mirrors, then reviews the  theory of colors in the middle ages in Europe and Middle East. The last  big part of the book explains the theories of colours by modern  scientists and philosophers, starting with Isaac Newton and ending  colour schemes of modern digital pictures.
