In the late 18<sup>th<\/sup> century, scholars began to develop colour theory according to the understanding that three primary colours \u2013 red, yellow, and blue \u2013 could be combined to create all others; these hypotheses would be instrumental in forming early theories of colour vision and the science of perception. Although Sir Isaac Newton and Da Vinci both developed theories of colour, the German poet Goethe organized colours into the \u201cwheel\u201d we know today in his <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Theory_of_Colours\">Theory of Colours<\/a><\/em> in 1810. Albert Munsell developed his <em><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Munsell_color_system\">Color System<\/a><\/em> which was later adopted by the US Bureau of Standards later in the century. Of course, these standards would influence not only contemporary explorations of the science of vision, but the creative disciplines of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/explore\/inside_out\/inside_out\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/K25.1.jpg\">art and design <\/a>as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">(Images from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/102719162\/1900s-edwardian-spectral-analysis-print?ref=sr_gallery_19&amp;ga_search_query=colour+theory&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=ZZ&amp;ga_min=0&amp;ga_max=0&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_facet=colour+theory\">VintageTreasureShop<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/103905192\/solar-and-some-other-spectrums?ref=sr_gallery_29&amp;ga_search_query=colour+theory&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_ship_to=ZZ&amp;ga_min=0&amp;ga_max=0&amp;ga_page=3&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_facet=colour+theory\">Beats925Books<\/a>, MOMA\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moma.org\/explore\/inside_out\/2010\/01\/13\/the-colorful-tim-burton\/\">Inside\/Out<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metropostcard.com\/guidecolor.html\">Postcard Club of NYC<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/imprint.printmag.com\/color\/the-wondrous-color-wheel-part-1\/\">Imprint<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoListParagraph\">&#8211;\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/tumblr.com\/blog\/easaunders\">Erin Saunders<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>artandsciencejournal: Colour Theory: A Brief History These diagrams are 19th and 20th century attempts to systematize colours and describe how the human eye perceives them.
