 Ted's Photographics - The Science of Photography - Colour Reproduction
Light is the source of colour, this was first demonstrated by Isaac Newton in 1666 at the age of 23.
Newton thus proved that colour is in the light and that white light is a mixture of all the colours in the visible spectrum.
However although "colour couplers", the mechanism for producing the required coloured dyes during film development, were invented in 1912 it took until the 1930’s before a practical solution to the complex technical problems were overcome.

Photography of the sky is not all science however, and the special photographic techniques and skills developed by astronomical photographers can be used to create colour pictures of distant objects beyond our limited human vision.
Everyday colour photographs have traditionally made using subtractive colour process, where the white light shining on to a print, negative or transparency is selectively absorbed (subtracted) by coloured dyes or pigments.
One only has to glance at a colour image of a galaxy, such as Messier 83 to appreciate how easy it is to distinguish the blue stars of the spiral arms from the pink star-forming regions and the extent of the dark yellow-brown dust lanes from which they spring.

 Colour + Concept: International Colour Photography
Colour + Concept has been mounted to coincide with the National Gallery of Australia’s 20th birthday celebrations and presents the work of 20 photographers who explore abstract or conceptual themes in their work and who might be described as ‘colourists’ for the passion they have for colour work.
Until the 60s, colour was complicated and expensive to develop and print and also reproduce in magazines or books.  The finest colour processes were largely the province of the top commercial photographers and were primarily employed in advertising and fashion.
The view in popular culture that colour represented fantasy was affirmed in 1939 in the pioneering colour film The Wizard of Oz, in which Dorothy and  her faithful pet, Toto, escaped the monochrome reality of Kansas and literally burst into the hyper-real Technicolor dream world of Oz.

A yellow filter absorbs UV and is useful in reducing haze, particularly in aerial or mountain photography.
The red filter is also used for infrared photography with fl and white infrared film, and with color film for underwater photography to restore red lightwaves absorbed by water.
Although its haze-accentuating characteristic may be useful in landscape photography by increasing the sense of depth, the sky appears quite pale, almost white, when a blue filter is used for landscapes.

Qualitatively, hue is whether a colour is red, orange, yellow, green etc. Although we may think of a pastel colour such as pink as being different from red, in fact the two have the same hue, it is just that the red in pink is diluted with white.
Colour reproduction systems can have any number of primary colours from two upwards but, because of the response of the human eye, three is the minimum number that gives acceptable results.
These primary colours may be from sources that emit light at the appropriate wavelengths, such as TV phosphors or lasers, or they may be derived from white light by filtering, since white light is available from a variety of sources.

 Steve Pearce Photography - Colour Temperature Article
Colour temperature is measured in Kelvin and it is possible to buy colour temperature meters, however, these are fairly expensive and for the most part, not strictly necessary.
By having an awareness of colour temperature, it is possible to pre-visualise how your image will be recorded on the medium you are using, and you can choose to either compensate, or use the light to creative effect.
In digital cameras, the colour temperature effect is applied by software, therefore by saving the RAW data, this processing is not done in the camera.

 The Newest Marvel of Science
But to reproduce the actual colours of Nature by any process at all similar to that employed in fl and white photography is physically impossible, and like the problem of perpetual, motion, might as well be once and for all abandoned as insoluble.
By this theory the eye sees all colour by means of three distinct sets of organs, sensitive respectively to red, green, and blue light, or to the rays which produce the sensation of red, green, and blue.
A pair of images of each colour, it may be explained in passing, is taken, so that in the viewing instrument - the Krõmskõp - the colour photographs may be observed with both eyes, and the picture consequently seen with the relief and perspective familiar to ordinary vision.

With innovative use of colour and elaborate staging (the trademarks of a John Hinde postcard), it was the challenging job of two German (Elmar Ludwig and Edmund Nägele) and one British photographer (David Noble) to execute the photographs to Hinde's rigorous formula and standards.
JOHN HINDE was an important pioneer of colour photography in Britain and, since the Irish Museum of Modern Art Dublin exhibition in 1993, is becoming recognised as a significant figure in the social history of photography.
His career began in the early 40s in London as a photographer and photo-enthusiast, absorbed by the new technology of colour photography and among the first to be published in colour, in early colour magazines and in essays made for the illustrated books Of Cabbages and Kings, Citizens in War, and British Circus Life.

 A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: COLOUR, Photography in
Though the invention of photography had an immediate impact on the whole art world, the early photographs were in monochrome.
The results were somewhat disappointing to Maxwell and his collaborator Thomas Sutton, but nevertheless they deserve the credit for laying the foundations of trichromate colour photography.
One of his suggestions had been that instead of mixing colour lights, one could combine dyed images; film could be coated with three very thin layers of emulsion, each sensitive to the primary colours; once processed as positives, the transparency could then be viewed as a full colour photograph.

Miss Acland took up photography in 1892, developing an interest in colour photography at the turn of the century when it was still in its infancy.
She owned a Watson half-plate field camera (Item 5), but the camera she used for most of her colour work was probably the 'Una' quarter-plate field camera made in 1904 by James A. Sinclair of the Haymarket, London (Item 148).
The earliest surviving colour photographs taken by Miss Acland use the three-colour separation technique, in the form marketed in England from 1900 by Sanger Shepherd and Co. (Items 104 and 105).

Michael Jennings has a fascinating posting up at his own blog about the introduction of colour photography, the point being that it was very gradual.
However, designing a suitable process through which you can print that colour photograph clearly was initially a little tricky, and 19th century colour photographs could not be readily and accurately printed in the 19th century.
So the question as to when colour photography was invented is up in the air.

There is no significant advantage to using colour film for pure reflected ultraviolet work because only the blue layer of the tri-colour pack will be exposed by the ultraviolet (the integral yellow filter effectively preventing exposure of the red and green layers).
This is effectively a 'false colour' record with ultraviolet radiation exposing the blue layer and far red radiation exposing the red sensitive layer of the film.
