Abstract

Nature has attracted us due to its immense hues that man can never duplicate. People can only search for its origin. People have used colours from ancient age to till date for various purposes. In this review the history of origin of colour is revisited qualitatively, that reveals a fascinating journey of more than 300 years. Thousands of scientists were involved in it. Most of them went unnamed though their contributions no doubt helped to develop the theory.
