13 Peter Hamer correctly points out that this naming scheme should not be
15 confused with names given to spectral colors, such as those that follow
16 the mnemonic "Roy G. Biv": Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo,
17 Violet. The distinction is between the physical nature of light and
18 the human perception of if.
19 Humans can't distinguish yellow light from a mixture of red and green
21 light. That's due to the color detection mechanism of the human eye.
22 The "cones" on the surface of the retina respond differentially to red,
23 green and blue light. (The "rods" on the other hand are very sensitive
24 to the brightness of light but can't distinguish hues.) So computer
25 phosphors don't attempt to transmit yellow light at all. They simulate
26 it by transmitting both red and green. At least humans can be fooled
27 in this way.
28 There's much more to light than the human eye can measure. Besides
30 the fact that visible light is a narrow subset of all the light coming
31 from the sun, there a whole dimension in the variation of frequency and
32 amplitude to which the eye is "tone deaf". This dimension is important
33 to astronomers and chemists. Their instruments measure aspects of
34 light that can reveal, for example, the composition of a star as well
35 as that of a material found at a crime scene.
36 Only when light is "for eyes only," your's or anyone's, can we simplify
38 theory and measurement to varying quantities of red, green and blue.
39 (Ever use a magnifying glass on your computer screen to see the little
40 dots? Watch that eyestrain! Didn't I say a magnfying glass?!) So
41 the physics of color and the perception of color are different
42 disciplines.
43 Another interesting distinction, "hues" on a computer monitor as well
45 as in the mind of a user, follow a circular series, as named above in
46 the hue list. Magenta and Pink are as close to each other in
47 perception as Green and Teal. But the physics of light is linear, a
48 spectrum. Violet in the color spectrum is the furthest thing from
49 Red. With real light, there's no such thing as magenta. The eye, when
50 the red and blue cones are stimulated "sees" magenta, but it doesn't
51 correspond to any frequency of light, the way most other hues do.
52 Incidentally, the distinction between Red, Green, Blue (RGB) and Cyan,
54 Magenta, Yellow (CMY or CMYK when Black is added to the mix) is purely
55 tactical. Printers use light-absorbing ink and computer monitors use
56 light-transmitting phosphors. The perfect cyan ink would completely
57 absorb red light and be completely transparent to green and blue. The
58 tactic of mixing cyan and yellow ink to get green is backwards from
59 mixing red and green light to get yellow. But the strategy is the
60 same: fooling human eyeballs by manipulating the red, green and blue
61 light that ultimately hits the retina.
