My fascination with color led me to Bauhaus designer and artist Josef Albers. He experimented extensively with the interactions of color and how the perception of them can change it.

Scientists know, people perceive color differently and it changes from one person to the next. Many will remember the controversy about a certain Dress in 2015 (Wikipedia). Millions of social media users got into arguments about the actual color of that striped lace dress. Where they all wrong?
“What Color is this?” is not specific to the human eye, it can be different in the animal and plant world, too. Sir David Attenborough filmed in his (Netflix) series of Life in Color with innovative camera equipment how color perception changes, and he discovered that we see a flower almost certainly not the same way as a bee.
In chemistry, a change of color is often used as an indicator of changes. Oregon State University Chemistry Professor Mas Subramanian found a new Blue while searching for something other.

Change of color isn’t unique to the organic world. I vividly remember when I saw a car with a color coating that changed with the angle I was looking at it. I later found out these colors are called “Chrome Chameleon Pearlescent Pigments”.

So, what is Color? Does it change all the time, or is it a fluent medium, compounded by pigments, reflection, absorption, different light sources, chemical composition, pre-conception and finally the perception through our own eyes?
