Abstract

Being able to react to different frequencies of fast electromagnetic waves has turned out to be a survival advantage.Colour vision is complex and depends on physical, chemical, physiological, neurological and psychological processes.In addition to perception via the cones, colour recognition is also linked to the quality of light, to surface properties of objects, and to cerebral processing and modification including verbalization, interpretation and feeling associations.Colours attract attention.They create sentiment and cohesion at the expense of contrast.The refracted rays of the solar spectrum differ from reflected rays and those created by interference.The brain's ability to adapt and complement visual perception is enormous.Whether colours can be heard depends on the synaesthetic abilities of the observer.Ultimately, colour perception is an illusion, manipulated and censored by a dominant brain.
