色觉三原色学说揭示了人类颜色视觉的奥秘,是现代视觉生理学的重要组成部分。如果从它最初提出时算起,已有一个多世纪的历史,在科研上有重大进展,则还是近二十多年的事。我国出版的绘画(艺用)色彩学书籍中很少提到它,提到过的也很简略而不够确切。因而美术界对它普遍还比较陌生,它对绘画色彩学所具有的重要意义,至今也缺乏足够的认识。由于没有把色觉三原色学说引入绘画色彩学,没有重视它所提供的色彩的生理学原理,致使现有的绘画色彩学著作、教材中,在一些色彩基础理论的论述上,诸如色彩的对比、补色的确定和补色对比规律等重要的色彩问题,以及有关的科研 The three primary colors of color vision reveals the mystery of human color vision and is an important part of modern visual physiology. If it has been more than a century old since it was first proposed and there has been major research progress, it will be for nearly two decades. It is seldom mentioned in the color science books published in our country (art), and it is also very brief and imprecise. Therefore, the art world is still relatively unfamiliar to it. Its significance to the study of color painting has so far lacked enough understanding. Because of the lack of introduction of the three primary colors of color vision into the study of color painting, it does not pay much attention to the physiological principles of colors it provides. As a result, in some existing color painting works and textbooks, some color basic theories such as color contrast, Determine and complement the law of color and other important color issues, and related research
