Color Standards and Color Nomenclature: With fifty-three colored plates and eleven hundred and fifteen named colors
Ridgway, Robert
Colors
With the single exception of Vanderpoel (Color Problems, p. 28,
plates 3, 4, where yellow is given first in order of luminosity) all
authorities on color-physics that I have been able to consult very
singularly ignore yellow entirely in their treatment of the subject of
luminosity.
[26] All quotations here are from Milton Bradley's "Elementary Color,"
except where otherwise noted.
[27] As determined by Dr. P. G. Nutting, Associate Physicist, U. S.
Bureau of Standards.
[28] See Rood, Modern Chromatics, pages 34, 35.
[29] The aniline or coal-tar dyes named are all of the manufacture of
Dr. G. Grübler and Co., Leipzig, Germany, unless otherwise stated. (See
Preface, page ii.)
CAUTION!!!
DO NOT EXPOSE THESE PLATES TO THE LIGHT FOR A LONGER TIME THAN IS
NECESSARY.
The pigments used in the preparation of these Plates are the most
durable known, those which have been proven unstable having been, as
far as possible, discarded. The latter include carmine and other
cochineal lakes, colors of vegetable origin (as gamboge, violet
carmine, indigo, etc.), and most of the aniline or coal tar dyes,
though among the last are a considerable number which are really more
permanent than several colors habitually used by artists. Certain
colors in this work could not, however, possibly be reproduced except
by the employment of pigments which are more or less sensitive to
_prolonged exposure_ to light, and hence this caution not to expose the
plates unnecessarily.
