Abstract:
For the normally sighted person, colour is everywhere. In the interior of a dwelling are natural and stained woods, wallpapers, upholstery fabrics, pottery, paintings, plants and flowers, a colour television set, and many more things seen as colored. Outdoors, and depending on the time of the year, there is a riot of colours such as those on an alpine summer meadow, or they are spare in a desert, with olives, browns, garnets, and grays. Colours can be pleasantly subdued, enhancing relaxation, or loud and calling to us from advertising billboards or magazines. Colour entices us to eat, consume or at least to buy. Colour likely has helped us to survive as a species. Our (Known) contacts with the world and the universe are by way of our five senses. Persons with a normally functioning visual system obtain what is probably the largest amount of information about the world surrounding them from vision, and colour experiences are an important outcome of this flow of information.
