The desire for knowledge is at the first people thereby excited that he is aware of significant phenomena, draw his

attention to it. In order that these remain permanently, so must find a more intimate participation that makes us gradually with the objects known. Then we notice only a great variety, the contrary penetrates us than quantity. We are compelled to distinguish but, and reassemble, which recently created an order that can be overlooked with more or less satisfaction. This one times only to be made in any reasonably, sustained stringent employment is necessary. Therefore, we find that people get rather by a general theoretical view, by any of explanation of the phenomena aside, rather than take the trouble to get to know the individual and edify a whole. Trying to find the color phenomena and to compile has only been done twice, the first time of Theophrastus, then Boyle. The current one will not make the third point in dispute. The closer ratio tells us the story. Here we say only so much that could be thought of in the the last century to such a compilation in no way, because Newton had put his hypothesis an intricate and derived attempt to reason on what you do when you do not hide and eliminate the remaining zudringenden phenomena could artificially moved around and they turned in fearful conditions, such as an astronomer would proceed who wants to expose the Moon Grille at the center of our system. He would be forced to the earth, the sun and all other planets revolve around the subaltern body to move around and hide by artificial calculations and presentation of the error of his ways and accepting the first to gloss over. We now proceed in memory of what we taught vorwortlich above, before expanding. There, we considered the light as recognized here, we do the same with the eye. We said all of nature manifest themselves by the color of the sense of the eye. We now claim that if it may sound somewhat strange that the eye can not see any form by Bright, Dark and color alone together make up that which the subject from the object, the parts of the object differs from each eye. And so we built from these three, the visible world and at the same time thus make possible the painting, which on the panel visible world a far more perfect than that may be true, is capable of producing. The eye has to thank its existence to the light. From indifferent animal organs, the auxiliary light calls forth an organ that has no equal will, and so the eye is the light for the light so that the inner light kick against the outside. Here we remember the old Ionic school, which always repeated with such great

significance: only from equals the same may be known, as well as the words of an old mystic, we want to express in German rhymes as follows:

Were not the eye sunlike, How can we see the light? Lives' not in us God's own power, How could we divine delight?

That immediate relatives of the light and the eye is no denying, however, to think both at the same time as one and the same, has more difficulty. However, it is more comprehensible if one asserts in mind I live a stationary light, am excited at the slightest instigation from the inside or from the outside. We can cause us the brightest images in the darkness by demands of the imagination. In dreams, the objects appear to us as the full day. In the waking state the slightest external influence of light is noticeable to us, even if the institution suffers a mechanical impulse to jump out light and colors. Maybe make those here who care to proceed according to a certain order, noticeable that we have not even decided declared, what was the color? This is the question we want to do here like to once again dodge and appeal to our version, where we showed complicated as it might appear. For there remains nothing for us here than to repeat that color is the lawful nature with regard to the meaning of the eye. Again, we have to assume that someone had this sense that someone know the influence of nature on this point: because the blind can not be talking about the color. Consequently, we do not seem too anxious to avoid a statement, we want to rewrite the Erstgesagte follows. The color is a fundamental natural phenomenon of the meaning of the eye, like all the rest, as manifested by separation and contrast, by mixing and association, by increasing and neutralization, by notification and distribution and on and under these general nature formulas best can be viewed and understood. This way to think of the matter, we can impose upon no one. Whoever finds it convenient, as we will gladly add them to yourself. Nor do we want to defend the future of battle and strife. Because it had to act always been something dangerous, from the color, such that one of our predecessor occasionally dare

to speak at all: If you hold the bull a red cloth in front, so he gets angry, but the philosopher, if you only ever speaks of Color , starts racing. However, should we now give of our presentation, we refer to some accountability, we must show first of all, we like the different conditions under which the color may show up separately. We found three modes, three kinds of colors, or if you prefer, three views of the same, the difference can be pronounced. So we looked at the colors first, so far as they belong to the eye and are based of the same on an action and reaction; further they moved our attention to itself, by they saw of colorless agents or by their Beihlfe but in the end they were strange to us, as we they could think of as belonging to the objects. The first we called physiological, physical, the second, the third chemical colors. Those are inexorably fleeting, others temporarily, but most lingering, the last hold up to the latest period. By it now in such a nature-order, for the sake of a didactic lecture, as there separated and kept apart, we succeeded at the same time, they represent a continuous series, the volatile with the lingering and link it back permanently with, and so the only carefully drawn departments for a higher viewing cancel again. Then we have a fourth department of our work, which has been noted previously by the colors under specific conditions varied, very generally, and thereby actually designed the demolition of a future theory of colors. Currently, we only say so much ahead that to produce the color light and darkness, light and dark, or if you want to use a more general formula, light and non-light'm challenged. First, the light is produced us a color, we call yellow, another first. At the darkness that we call blue with the words These two, if we mix in their purest state such that they fully comply with the balance, bring forth a third, which we call green. Those first two colors but also any bring on themselves a new phenomenon by thicken or darken. You will receive a reddish reputation, which can increase to such a high degree that you can hardly see it more like the original blue and yellow. But can the highest and pure red, especially in physical cases, bring forth, that unites the both ends of the Yellow Red and Blue Red. This is the view of the vibrant colors, appearance and generation. But you can also take to the specified finished blue and yellow and red produce a finished mix back through what we have accomplished by intense forward. With these three or six colors, which can be easily include in a circle, the elementary theory of color has to do alone. All other infinitely continuous amendments include more in the Applied belong to the art of the painter, the dyer, ever in life.

Shall we then still speak a common feature, the colors are certainly to be regarded as half-lights, semi-shade, why because they also, if they are mixed together mutually cancel their specific properties, a Shady, a Grey produce. In our fifth division then should those neighborly relations are shown, in which our theory of color wish to communicate with the rest of knowledge doings. So important is this department, it may perhaps just for that reason not be able to get the best. But when you consider that actually neighborly relations can not be express rather than to have it done, so you can take comfort from the failure of such a first attempt well. Because of course, is only to be seen as those we sought to serve, which we thought to shew something Pleasing and useful that will take us from Advance as possible, whether they dedicate it whether they use it and carry on, or whether they refuse to crowd out and let makeshift stand on its own. However, we must say what we believe and what we hope. From philosophers to believe we deserve much, that we wanted to pursue the phenomena to their original sources, to the point where they appear naked, and are, and where nothing can be further explained to them. Furthermore, it will be welcome that we made the phenomena in an easy gear or fine if he himself should also not entirely approve this order. The doctor, particularly those who observe the organ of the eye to get it to remedy its defects and its evil is called to heal, we believe ourselves to be excellent to make friends. In the department of the physiological colors in the appendix, which suggests the pathological, he finds himself quite at home. And we are certainly due to the efforts of those men who treat our time with this specialized lucky to see those first edited in detail, neglected and one can say the most important department of the theory of color. Kindest physicist should meet us as we give him the convenience to carry forward the theory of colors in the range of all other elementary phenomena and in doing so to use a matching language, almost derselbigen words and characters such as under the other headings. Of course we make him insofar as he is a teacher, a little more effort: for the chapter of the colors can not be dismissed in the future as in the past with little paragraphs and testing; also the pupil will not be easy as frugal as you may otherwise serve him, be fobbed off without a murmur. In contrast, there is another advantage later on. Because if the Newtonian theory was easy to learn as showed in their application insurmountable difficulties. Our tenet is perhaps difficult to grasp, but then everything is done, for they will be with their application. The chemist, who pays attention to the colors as criteria to explore the

physical properties geheimern beings do, has been found in naming and description of the colors of obstacles, so one has been moved to a more detailed and finer analysis, the color as an insecure and see trgliches indicator for chemical operations. But we hope to bring them through our representation and the proposed nomenclature to honor again and to awaken the belief that a becoming, Growing, a Mobile, the turning over-ready was not deceitfully, rather cleverly, to reveal the most delicate operations of nature. If we look around, however, than we converts to a fear of displeasing the mathematician. By a strange combination of circumstances, the color theory is the kingdom, has been drawn before the judgment seat of a mathematician, where it does not belong. This happened because of their relationship with the other laws of vision, which was to treat the mathematician actually called. It happened also the fact that a great mathematician worked on the theory of color, and as he had been mistaken as a physicist, mustered all the strength of his talent to give consistency to this error. If both seen, every misunderstanding must soon be lifted, and the mathematician is like, especially the physical division of color theory, help edit. The technician, the dyer, however, our work must be quite welcome. It is precisely those who thought about the phenomena of dyeing were the least satisfied by the existing theory. They were the first who were aware of the inadequacy of Newtonian theory. Because there is a big difference from which side a knowledge of science is approached through which gate to get in.. The true practitioner of the producer, the phenomena are daily forced upon themselves by force, which benefit or harm from exercising his beliefs feels the money and time loss is not indifferent to the wants forward reach of other past accomplishments, to excel, he feels much quicker the cave, the falsity of a theory when the scholar, the last valid Only the received words at face value, as the mathematician whose formula is still correct, even if the base does not fit her, to which they have applied. And so are we, when we come in from the side of the painting, from the side of aesthetic coloring surfaces, to color for the painter the Dankenswerteste have done, if we determine the sensual and moral effects of color in the sixth department sought and thus they want to approach the art use. Is also here, as well, some remained only sketch so everything should Theoretical actually only indicate the broad lines on which to endure afterwards like the fact alive and reach the statutory spawning
