Datos en bruto de la encuesta online sobre colores cromáticos y colores acromáticos

Abstract

The aim is to argue that black and white are also colors, and so are grays. Because color is a visual sensation (product of the interaction of luminous radiation with pigmented objects and observers). “Pigment” and “color” are not synonymous; “light radiation” and “color” are not synonymous either. And just as we have red, green, blue, or yellow visual sensations, we also have visual sensations of white, black, or gray. This argument is supported by a survey where lay people and experts are asked about this issue, and by a bibliographical research.
