Color Theory 4

Introducing an ongoing series of Color Theory experiments. Inspired by, and as a tribute to color theorist Josef Albers.

At the time, Albers did not have the animation and computer tools that we have today to explore color interaction. This series 'Color Theory' attempts to bring his theories alive using simple animations. The colors and resulting illusion were found by hand.

In this specific work (CT4) of the series we attempt to a.) make one color lose its identity and b.) make that color (used for the smaller middle rectangles) appear to reflect the two opposite backgrounds respectively, resulting in the illusion that the work only used two colors. X colors appear as X-1 colors.

CT4 attempts to do the above with the following 3 colors: #C0E1FB #FFDAB1 #E4DBD0
