When light reveals its colours
Cardboard glasses which, in the true spirit of Goethe, reveal the hidden colours of light
These cardboard glasses, featuring original multispectral film, reveal the spectral colours of a light source – such as a candle flame – in a similar way to the colour spectrum in Goethe’s experiments on the theory of colours.
The enclosed brief introduction provides a well-founded initial insight into Goethe’s theory of colours, which is somewhat controversial amongst physicists but is still highly regarded by artists and colour psychologists today.
Warning! Never look at the Sun whilst wearing these glasses. There is a risk of permanent eye damage.
