Abstract

The article discusses the study regarding color vision theory. Color vision has first been elaborated by English physicist Isaac Newton, through the discovery of the visible spectrum. The study investigates the simplicity of the discovery of Newton. It also includes another experiment considered to be a trivial modification that reverses some of the basic conclusions of Newton.
