In 1677, the English doctor Francis Glisson is credited with the creation of a colour-solid which, in this respect, was both coherent and of sufficient quality to become the ancestor of all colour systems of the New Age. www.colorsystem.com /projekte/engl/03fore.htm   (611 words)

§5. Ben Jonson’s Masques. XIII. Masque and Pastoral. Vol. 6. The Drama to 1642, Part Two. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature: An Encyclopedia in Eighteen Volumes. 1907–21 Oceanus, presented in human form, the colour of his flesh blue, and Niger, in form and colour of an Aethiop, riding on two great sea-horses, with attendant tritons and sea-maidens, seem to advance out of the sea, which is artfully made to shoot forth as if it flowed to the land. The entertainment was the masque out-of-doors, and consisted of some kind of welcoming device or function arranged for greeting the queen on her arrival, or “discovered” afterwards, as she was conducted round gardens and park. When it is finished, and the masquers are about “to make choice of their men, one from the sea was heard to call them with this Charm, sung by a tenor voice.” The song very aptly bids the sirens of the sea beware of the sirens of the land. www.bartleby.com /216/1305.html   (2797 words)

Rayleigh, John William Strutt, 3rd Baron In 1871, Rayleigh explained that the blue colour of the sky arises from the scattering of light by dust particles in the air, and was able to relate the degree of scattering to the wavelength of the light. Rayleigh was born in Essex and studied at Cambridge. An inconsistency in the Rayleigh-Jeans equation, published by Rayleigh 1900 (amended 1905 by James Jeans), which described the distribution of wavelengths in black-body radiation (see black body), led to the formulation shortly after of the quantum theory by German physicist Max Planck. cartage.org.lb /en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/R/Rayleigh/1.html   (210 words)
