Basic
Colours
Summary
Nemcsics and colleagues (1990) conducted empirical research that determined the hues that the average human eye can distinguish, resulting in 48 basic colours. They are the foundation of the Human Centred Colour System®, providing a stable, perceptually even framework for our human-centred harmony creation process.
