Colored Glasses for Stage Illumination

RESEARCHES in physiological optics have shown that the eye is sensitive to three primary color sensations and that the appearance of any hue may be produced by observing light containing one or more of these three primary color sensations. These primary sensations are red, (Fig. 1)¹; green, (Fig. 16); and blue, (Figs. 11 and 12). Addition of the sensations of red and green gives the sensation of yellow, of red and blue gives a purple ranging from a very blue purple to a reddish magenta, and the combination of blue and green gives a blue green.
