What is colour? How does it relate to our perception? Is a colour such as magenta real, if it is not in the spectrum?
You may remember "the dress", the viral phenomenon from 2015. Was it black-and-blue, or was it white-and-gold?
Stephen Westland is Professor of Colour Science and Technology in the School of Design at the University of Leeds. His research includes psychophysics - measuring human responses to physical stimuli. He will discuss what colour really is, and why we perceive it as we do.The meeting will be in-person at Seven Arts, 31A Harrogate Road, Leeds LS7 3PD. It will not be broadcast over Zoom.
