Understanding Color Perception and Models

The video explores human color perception, explaining trichromatic vision and the phenomenon of after imaging, where prolonged exposure to bright colors can lead to temporary color illusions. It discusses different color models, such as RGB and subtractive models, and how screens display colors differently from real life. The role of plant colors in pollination and theories on color preferences, including gender differences, are also covered. Finally, the video links the science of color perception with artistic perspectives.
