Science Café Cleveland presents
Demystifying color:
Distinguishing between science and folklore
MARCH 9, 2015
FEATURING:
Shermila Singham, PhD
Staff Scientist, Sherwin Williams
EVENT INFORMATION:
Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue at noon, red at sunset, and gray on a cloudy day? Or if bananas are really yellow? Why mixing blue, red, and green paint makes brown while mixing the same color lights makes white? Why soap bubbles and oil slicks show rainbow colors and yellow lighting makes you sleepy?
From a scientific perspective, color originates from the visual perception of light interacting with physical objects. Join us for a discussion on the modern day theories of color that can be used to answer the questions posed and more. Current developments in color theory and application to consumers will also be reviewed.
