Last week I bought a delicious bunch of grapes. I washed them, and as I popped a few into my mouth, I wondered to myself "what colors would you mix to get this grape color?" This led to a little mini quiz in my classes. I gave everyone a grape or two and a piece of paper and asked them to jot down the colors they would use to duplicate the grape color. The results were varied, but not drastically different, I have very smart students! Artists "feel" color I believe.
This week on About.com there was just this same topic on the color black, so I've added the link here for you to see. Black really isn't black you know! Also try to read the link on how Prussian Blue was invented.
