(DESCRIPTION 📖)
Colour (spelt color in American English) is the visual perception based within the electromagnetic spectrum. Colour is not an inherent property of matter; technically, all objects in the universe would realistically appear monochrome (white, grey and black), but the perception of light is based on how well an object is able to absorb, reflect, emit and interfere with light.

For the vast majority of people (with exception to those who are colourblind to specific colours like red and green for example), colour is able to be perceived thanks to specialised photoreceptor cells in the eye called cone cells, which respond to and combine the different wavelengths of light to perceive colour. Human vision of colour is not universal to all organisms on Earth, as most animals can either see less colour than us or even are attuned to different wavelengths of light such as bees, which can see ultraviolet light.

Colour is organised into different forms of colour space, which can be extracted mathematically using numerical codes in models such as colour wheels or colour palettes. Such models include the RGB, CMYK, YUV and HSL and HSV models. These models are greatly beneficial for reproducing colour in print, photography, computer graphics and, for the majority of human history, visual art.

Colour has strong associations with our humanity, whether it be our emotions and feelings or abstract concepts like cultural and social identities. Colour theory organises colours based on aesthetic pleasure, harmony, complementation and balance through strong classification (such as organising colour into primary, secondary and tertiary colours).

(PERSONAL THOUGHTS 💭)
Since the 25th of July, I have embarked on creating a semi-consistent (but mostly sporadic) series of illustrations based on the “Colour Palette / Wheel Challenge” which began around July or June (if I remembered correctly). Consisting of 10 illustrations and featuring dozens of characters from across pop culture and fiction, this illustration is a demonstration of the growth that I’ve undertaken in my journey as an artist on DeviantArt, whilst also participating in a fun challenge that has helped boost and promoted my webpage.

Now, I know some will see that post outlining future illustrations based on the “achromatic” or monochrome colours of white, grey and black, but I’m gonna spin them off into their own series sometime next year, as I’d like to focus on other illustrations for this month, including some themed around pop culture, the holidays and my own OU, the Fermi Paradox. They’ll still be done, I promise, just not right now and I don’t want to end up in a situation like I did during the Magenta / Rose illustration, where I was completely burnt out doing this series so, by giving me some time to recharge and hopefully (fingers crossed🤞), they will be better and more aesthetically pleasing than my last ten combined.
