Analysis

Hi Michael, I was gently teasing about my brother. He loves to pontificate. I generally tune him out after about 15 minutes. I'd rather do it than understand his mathematical analysis of pixel formation.

The point is that no amount of scientific study can actually define how artists use color. What remains is very simple. In order to experience we have to do it. Add violet, green, blue, or any other color and see what happens. And there will always be paradoxes. We define warm colors as those most like the warmth of the sun, and cool tones as standing in the shade of a tree. Yet the hottest flame burns a blue- white. And with this I have to stop pontificating and go do it!
