Color and its history

 

History of color

Color is a part of mankind since they find out a new visible element from nature like tree, flower, fruit; leaf and cloudiness sky is called color. This amazing element let them fell and learn the different name of a different color. So that from the invention time to present time this color takes the largest space in our life. From a little baby to an old person’s has a different attraction to the color.

The cloth is not only cover the body but also this cloth increase the good looking of the human body. I heard from somewhere it’s was ‘god makes man and a tailor makes gentleman’. To be a perfect man the cloth comes first. Today too many designed and colored dresses are worn by human depending on there own personality and test.

According to professor McIntyre about color “The particular visual sensation caused by the light emitted by, transmitted through or reflected from the object” wrote down on his book called “Textiles terms and definitions” published by British Textile Institute.

Color is depends on different terms as we can see it.

§  The material’s internal and external character like physical status of material, thickness, shape, and behavior with lights.

§  The character of the lights is reflecting from the objects.

Classification of color according to light theory:

 Primary color

§  Red

§  Blue

§  Green

Secondary color

§  Purple (Red + Blue)

§  Bluish green (Blue + Green)

§  Yellow (Red + Green

Tertiary color

§  Yellow + Green = Green Yellow , Red + Yellow= Orange

§  Green + Bluish Green = Green-Green Blue, Blue + Bluish Green = Blue-Blue    Green.

§  Red + Purple = Red Purple, Green + Purple = Violate.

Sunlight:

This sunlight is a wave of energy which is come to the earth by a magnetic wave. The wavelength is vast definition. The length of the light is so much different and some of the lengths is beyond of an eye can see. Basically, the human eye can see 350 nanometers to 700 nanometers we called it light.

  

color	wavelength interval	frequency interval
red	~ 700–635 nm	~ 430–480 THz
orange	~ 635–590 nm	~ 480–510 THz
yellow	~ 590–560 nm	~ 510–540 THz
green	~ 560–520 nm	~ 540–580 THz
cyan	~ 520–490 nm	~ 580–610 THz
blue	~ 490–450 nm	~ 610–670 THz
violet	~ 450–400 nm	~ 670–750 THz
