In Modern Chromatics, physicist Ogden N. Rood (1831-1902) shares the results of his many experiments with color. The work explains, in an accessible language, the physical laws that govern colors, including constants of color, color-mixing, and the duration of the impression of color on the retina.
The French translation of Rood’s work was well known to the Impressionist painters and influenced Pointillist Georges-Pierre Seurat among others.
