Investigating effects of acid and base on color. Demonstrate that combinations of 2 of the 3 primary colors will create 3 secondary colors. Record observations of the color mixtures. Color surrounds us everywhere. We see it in the sky, in the oceans, and in all plants and animals.
Color adds beauty to our clothing and food.
But to discover color, we need to examine it. We used liquid chromatography to discover the basic color theory. However, we wanted to continue our experimentation with color through the world of plants. We also selected a variety of fabrics that we could test in the dye baths. We wanted to discover the fabric's variability in holding the colors of the plant dyes.
