Abstract

There are two types of color mixing, namely additive color mixing and subtractive color mixing. The color disk, essentially a top with its top painted has been known since antiquity and has been used to study color mixing. This paper will briefly review the elements of color mixing and the use of color disks to study color vision and perception from the time of Ptolemy to the present day.
