Goethe's Theory of Colors

Goethe's Theory of Colors emphasizes that color perception arises from the interaction between light and darkness, influenced by the observer's experience and context. Unlike Newton's focus on physical light properties, Goethe considered colors as part of a perceptual and emotional experience, arising when light and shadow meet, often filtered through our eye's sensitivity. He believed colors have psychological effects and are connected to natural phenomena and human perception, highlighting the subjective and dynamic nature of color, rather than viewing colors solely as objective properties of objects.
