Science of color

The spectrum is the range of different colours which is produced when light passes through a glass prism or through a drop of water . A rainbow shows the colours in the spectrum.

The division used by Isaac Newton, in his color wheel, was: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet ; a mnemonic for this order is “Roy G. Biv”. Less commonly, “VIBGYOR” is also used for the reverse order.

Full Color Spectrum-the full color spectrum uses all of the colors in the color wheel, mainly the primary and secondary colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple . Holistic Dwelling endeavors to explore different design methods to create a more conscientious approach to designing homes.

Newton’s colour circle combines the spectral colours red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, indigo, and blue-violet with the nonspectral colour magenta (a mixture of blue-violet and red light beams), as shown in the figure.
