This brief details the history of color from the chemical point of view, beginning with the first recorded uses of color and ending in the development of our modern chemical industry, glimpsing at some theoretical physics along the way. We see that color pervades every aspect of our lives; our consciousness, our perceptions, our useful appliances and tools, our playthings, our entertainment, our health, and our diagnostic apparatus - all of which are based in no small part on chemistry. |
