This project delves into the origins of colors as proposed by Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton. Hooke suggested that colors arise from the modification of white light and identified blue and red as primary colors. He used a deductive approach, hypothesizing based on the study of the human eye before conducting experiments. In contrast, Newton identified red, green, and blue as primary colors, explaining color composition through an inductive approach after performing experiments. This comparison highlights the evolving understanding of color theory in scientific exploration.

Hooke’s highlightsabout the originofcolours: There are twoprimarycolours: blue and red, that take originfrom the modificationof the white light. The othercoloursarisefor the compositionof the primaryones.
The white light is a foundamental and uncompoundedwave. The coloursoriginatesfrom a distortionof the wavecausedbypassingthrough a medium. • Colours are a propertyof the matter.
