Things in the universe are impacted by the electromagnetic radiation of light, thus absorbing part of the light waves and reflecting some others. The latter are perceived by the human eye and identified as the color of things. It is known that the human eye can capture a finite number of colors (with very many shades) when it is in a context of great lighting. When light is scarce, instead, we perceive the world in black and white: the superposition of all colors (to reconstitute white light) or the total absence of light, respectively.

Colors play a fundamental role in our lives because they affect our moods. It is important to learn how to enhance our appearance and balance our emotions, and in this case colors represent an essential tool to achieve our goal.
