Spectrum model

Spectrum model. Plastic model showing how all colours are made up of just red, green and blue, which are known as the primary colours. Where the colours meet at the edges, they form magenta (red and blue), yellow (red and green) and cyan (blue and green), which are known as the secondary colours. Together, the primary and secondary colours form white (centre). By mixing the primary colours in varying amounts, all possible colours can be made

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Spectrum model, a plastic model that beautifully illustrates how all colors are composed of just three primary colors: red, green, and blue. These primary colors are known to be the building blocks of every visible color in our world. As we observe the edges where these vibrant hues meet, they blend together to form secondary colors such as magenta (a combination of red and blue), yellow (red and green), and cyan (blue and green). These secondary colors add depth and richness to our visual experiences. At the center of this mesmerizing still life composition lies a perfect representation of white light. The fusion of all primary and secondary colors creates this pure shade, symbolizing unity in diversity. By skillfully mixing varying amounts of these primary hues, an infinite range of shades can be achieved. The Spectrum model serves as an educational tool for understanding the physics behind color perception. Its physical presence allows us to explore the fascinating world of optics by visually grasping how different wavelengths interact with one another. This thought-provoking image is not only aesthetically pleasing but also intellectually stimulating. It invites us to delve into the intricate nature of light's behavior while appreciating its profound impact on our daily lives – from artistry to scientific discoveries.
