Roy G. Biv: Color Defined

Josef Albers

 

The Interaction of Color

 

"To open eyes" was art teacher Josef Albers' mission. Through research and experimentation, Albers discovered how colors relate to each other and how we perceive them. These are a few of the pages from his 1968 book The Interaction of Color. Some of the theories he developed were:

-Color physically effects our eyes.

-Some colors seem to change their appearance depending on what colors are near them.

-Some colors will saturate our eyes, so that colors appear to blend, vibrate, or even disappear.
