Image description

The chemist George Field (1777-1854) constructed a colour-circle from the basic colours of red, yellow and blue, thus wishing to take up a position opposed to Newton. Secondary and tertiary colours arise through progressive superimposition. Meanings were allocated to the colours: hot (red) and cold (blue) stand opposite one another; likewise advancing and retiring. George Field also saw a connection between colour and sound, and so draws our attention to one of the stumbling blocks of the era: namely, an understanding of the carrier medium of light. The colour-circle appeared in 1846 in 'Chromatics, of the Analogy, Harmony and Philosophy of Colours', London 1846.
