From Pigments to Perception: The Chemical Origins of Color

Blue is everywhere in the world around us . . . or is it? In fact, many of the things we see as blue have no blue pigments in them at all. Why, then, do we perceive them as blue and how does science make that possible?  Of course, some things are colored by pigments — we will explore the science of those colors as well.

Join us for this fascinating conversation at the Cantor Art Gallery with Class Deans and Professors Sarah Petty (Chemistry) and Rob Bellin (Biology) about the science of color.
