Fascinating Color Facts
Interesting insights about color science and perception
Human Color Vision
"Humans can distinguish approximately 10 million different colors"
Our eyes have three types of cone cells that detect different wavelengths of light, allowing us to perceive this vast range of colors.
Color Temperature
"Warm colors have lower color temperatures than cool colors"
Measured in Kelvin, candlelight is around 1900K (warm), while blue sky is around 10000K (cool).
Color Memory
"People remember colors better than they can match them"
Color memory is surprisingly inaccurate - we often remember colors as more saturated and brighter than they actually were.
Cultural Differences
"Color associations vary significantly across cultures"
While red means danger in Western cultures, it represents good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture.
