THE COLOR THEORY
How We See Color
To understand how color is recorded photographically without knowing how we see color is like trying to cook a meal without ever tasting food. While photographic materials record colors in a predictable and measurable way, it is how we see and react to both the original scene and the final results that makes or breaks the process.
While you may think that you see colors with your eyes, it is actually the brain’ s interpretation of the information that determines what we see. This can be influenced by personal and cultural factors( As for example; certain colors have specific meaningscertain colors have specific meanings in different countries,). Despite these variable factors, there are also many deeprooted reactions that seem to be almost universal, and these can be exploited in your photography.
