About 300 years ago man began to study the nature s color. The famous English scientist, Issac Newton, did the experiments in 1665, which are even the basis for much of our knowledge of colors today. He found that when he passed a narrow beam of sunlight or “white light” through a prism(棱镜)，the white split into a colored beam. This colored beam was made up of violet, blue, green, indigo, yellow, orange and red. People called it a spectrum later.

He also found that he could pass the color spectrum through another prism and produce white light. Thus, Newton first discovered that white light was a mixture of all the colors.
