färgor

Färgor, the Swedish word for colors, encompasses the entire spectrum of visible light as perceived by the human eye. These perceptions are a result of light reflecting off surfaces and stimulating specialized cells in the retina called cones. The primary colors in subtractive color mixing, often taught in art, are red, yellow, and blue. When these colors are mixed, they absorb different wavelengths of light, and the color we see is the light that is not absorbed. In additive color mixing, used in digital displays and lighting, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. Mixing these light sources together creates other colors, with the combination of all three producing white light. The perception of color is subjective and can be influenced by factors such as lighting conditions, individual eyesight, and cultural associations. Different cultures may assign different meanings or symbolism to specific colors. The study of colors, known as color theory, explores their properties, their interactions, and their impact on human perception and emotion. Artists, designers, and scientists all utilize color theory in their respective fields.
