Autochrome

Color Is Like Number
a: Color ~
b: Number
What: Or it can be. The linked article is about using math and modern color instruments to quantitate the color in well known paintings. This is a very interesting process that more artist should tune into. As usual, the Japanese are ahead of the curve.
