Perception

Mix and Match

MIX AND MATCH emphasizes the fact that the human eye can distinguish very subtle differences in shading. A computer program allows visitors to pick a color and then create a match for that color by mixing different amounts of red, green and blue. A button allows users to check their color acuity against the actual mixture needed to create the chosen color. The background color can be changed, showing how color perception is changed by background. This program has the capability to display sixteen million different colors.
