COLOR in ART
For more than 2000 years (from about 600 B.C. to A.D. 1600), artists believed that color was the result of the “struggle between light and darkness” and so reordered the colors by their brightness, with black followed by blue, then red and green, yellow, and ending in white [Gerritsen, 1988].

COLOR in ARTWORK
Choosing colors for a visual work requires more than just naming them or determining their wavelengths. It is essential in color composition to be able to consider colors in context, not just as isolated definitions. A Color Space is a way or ordering colors in one, two, or three dimensions to help the artist choose and work with color.
