Part of the presentation was on color theory and I will suggest anyone interested in color to find information on Chevreul color theory. He was hired by a textile company to make their textile colors look more vibrant and he coined the term “Simultaneous Contrast”. Although Goethe (yes, that one) earlier spoke about the interaction of color, Chevreul formalized it. There is a large book by Chevreul but anyone interested in color may (maybe should) visit the following site which is full of color related information from simultaneous contrast to equiluminance. You will enjoy the site, she also has a very nice book, Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing by Margaret S. Livingstone. Here is the site link:

this is the page about the simultaneous contrast:

Enjoy,

Cemal
