Defining color is a complex process that has consumed artists and scientists for many years. Takes a new approach to the understanding of color, providing a comprehensive overview of what it is, along with very clear, detailed explanations. Three-dimensional graphics help enable full understanding of all the dimensions of color and how it relates to creative visual arts.

An elementary class prepares for a visit from the Shadow Players, a group who use light, shadow, and color to tell a story. The class learns about sources of light, shadows, and silhouettes. They experiment with transparent, opaque, and translucent objects to see what lets light through. Using a prism, they discover the colors in light. Review at the end.
Discover how scientists compare the reflected red, blue, and green light from planets in the solar system to identify distant planets. Carolyn Crow, an astronomer, describes how the amount of green, blue, and red light reflected by planets can be plotted. A diagram compares the color data of the planets and shows that Earth is easily distinguishable by its blue color.
Nate explores the "Chemistry of Color" exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art to find out more about color and pigments. The exhibit charts the relationship between chemistry and art over a period of more than 4,500 years. Part of the "Artrageous With Nate" series.
Host Alex Dainis explains why leaves change colors during the fall. She examines the different colors of leaf pigments by using chromatography. In this experiment, viewers are able to see the various colors of pigments found in leaves.
How does eye color work? Get ready for a long look deep into the genetics and physics of eye color. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series.
Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, the rain has just fallen and the sun is returning. A beautiful rainbow fills the horizon. Moko would like to take a few colors and bring them back to his village to offer them to a friend. He walks toward the rainbow, but the closer he gets, the more the colors disappear. Disappointed, he heads back home... and the rainbow reappears in the distance. He asks the village wise man how he could take a few colors from the rainbow and make a gift of them to a friend. The wise man tells him it would be better to ask his friend to come look at the beauty of the colors with him. After all, Moko tells himself, the rainbow is too big and doesn't want us to take its colors away. It comes to make the sky more beautiful. It just wants to be admired.
Fruits and vegetables are filled with a host of health-promoting benefits, but often times individuals fall short on their daily servings. Join food and health professionals as they discuss the power and health benefits of fruits and vegetables.
Human ancestors in Africa likely had dark skin, which is produced by an abundance of the pigment eumelanin in skin cells. In the high ultraviolet (UV) environment of sub-Saharan Africa, darker skin offers protection from the damaging effects of UV radiation. Dr. Jablonski explains that the variation in skin color that evolved since human ancestors migrated out of Africa can be explained by the tradeoff between protection from UV and the need for some UV absorption for the production of vitamin D.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern tackles the phenomenon of white rainbows. They are also known as spider web rainbows, and Dianna explains how these form. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Host Jessica Robertson gathers questions from individuals in downtown Denver, Colorado. They want to know how Colorado is affected by climate change. Scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) provide the answers and information on how to learn more about climate change.
Left for dead after decades of neglect, the Colorado River in Northern Mexico was once a vibrant wetland ecosystem the size of Rhode Island. People have come together in an attempt to restore the delta of the river. They have instituted programs and policies to reconnect a healthy river to the sea.
