In color research, we find a recurrent question: Do colors have presence like, for example, flowers in a garden, or are they just an appearance that forms in the mind? 

This book, The Unified Principle of Colour, offers a new approach to that question. It shows where, when, and how colors form and identifies structural reasons for color relationships. It considers the physics of light and the biology of vision while adding to these a third discipline: the process of consciousness. When these three disciplines are brought together, a description of color formation becomes possible. What emerges is the fact that the observer, a living being, performs an essential role in generating the colors we perceive.

The source of color is neither concealed within light, nor is it an unseen coded program in the brain or elsewhere. Rather, the colors we see have their source in the spontaneous creative response of a perceiver faced with a unique set of visual conditions.

This presentation is not built on research findings taken from specialized laboratory settings, but on facts readers can verify for themselves and accept or reject. I say to the reader: all that is required to enjoy this adventure into color is your personal interest and, too, a little time to reflect on what is presented here.

So,welcome aboard!
