This item is an interactive Java simulation for introductory physics students that explores how color perception is affected by changing the red/green/blue value (RGB), the hue, color saturation, and brightness. See Related Materials on this page for a link to the authors' full tutorial on the topic of color.
This item is part of a larger collection of materials on optics and microscopy developed by the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
