In this video, I talk about the math and science of colors for 42 minutes. Topics include cone cell response functions, electromagnetic radiation, spectral colors, luminance, color spaces, parametric equations, normal curves, mono and polychromatic light, emission spectra, spectral power distributions, chromaticity diagrams, linear transformations, the physics of diffuse reflection and light sources, blackbody radiation, sunlight, refraction, rainbows, rayleigh scattering, fluorescence, LEDs, color gamuts, CRT TV, LCD screens, CMYK printers, the RGB cube, binary, hexadecimal codes, the HSV color space, cylinder and cone, and color schemes. This is my entry in #SoME2 Corrections/Clarifications: 37:10 I misspoke and said m1 instead of m2. What is shown on screen is correct. 22:12 On screen it says λ = f/c, but this is wrong. The correct formula is λ = c/f I have been told by some commenters that the long cone responsivity graph has a smaller, secondary peak, in the shorter waveleng
