Based on three years of extensive research, Cracking the Colour Code draws on a range of disciplines and leading experts – including physicists, neurologists, artists, ethnologists, colour consultants, historians, artisans and marketing executives – each in some way intimately concerned with the nature and power of colour. Each offers insights – even new discoveries – that will challenge our understanding of colour. Plot Synopsis Cracking the Colour Code is a French/ Australian documentary series which looks at the subject of colour - its origins, meaning and purpose. The series is divided into three 52 minute episodes. Each tackles an aspect of the puzzle. The subject matter is esoteric and the series suggests that the story of colour is one that must be told using the skills of anthropologists, ancient and medieval historians, psychologist and designers. It is a heady brew and anyone expecting a precise series with plenty of answers will be disappointed - once cracked the colour code remains something of a mystery! Episode 1 - Viewing Colours is the most scientific of the three. It looks at the perception of colour in man and in animals. Why is the sky blue* Do we see in colour or is our brain simply generating colour images* Light is the key to the appearance and reproduction of colour. Animals, it seems, vary in their perception of colour and in one interesting scene a monkey, which has a limited colour vision, is given treatment which enables it to see vastly expanded range of colour. Hopefully they let him go to dominate the jungle! The episode features scientists and theoreticians and to those wanting definitive answers it may seem somewhat elusive. Episode 2 - Making Colours is more grounded, dealing with the origin of colours. The colours referred to here are those used by humans - paints, pigments, dyes etc. The show takes us back to the cavemen showing how the three basic colours red, black and white were derived from the natural environment. Each civilisation built on these foundations. The Egyptians were the first to chemically create colours leading to the elaborate decoration of their temples. They also discovered the uses of crustaceans to create purple which was so difficult and expensive to make that it became the province of the ruling class. The show traces the rapid expansion of colour in the medieval merchant era and the proper chemical creation of colours which enabled artists to use an expansive palate and modern colour to be born. Episode 3 - The Power of Colour looks at the psychological ramifications of colour - how are we as humans affected, controlled and stimulated by colour. Again this is a hard concept to grasp and the evidence is often contradictory. For example, the introduction of pink as the dominant colour in some US prisons resulted in a great reduction in prisoner violence. As it happens in further studies white was shown to have the same effect. Do these colours stimulate peaceful behaviour or do the prisoners just appreciate a new lick of paint on the walls and some fresh clothes* As it happens no colour actually "means" anything stripped of its context and history. Therefore blue was shunned in Ancient Rome perhaps because of its use by the barbarians. White and black came to have their purity/sinister overlays late in the piece with virgin brides initially happy to wear any colour. Perhaps it is our association with red as an action colour that results, according to one expert, in a preponderance of Olympic fighting sports victories to those wearing the red gear. Cracking the Colour Code has plenty of good ideas though the execution of the show is a little vague to stimulate the fact searching viewer. It posits quite a few theories but readily concedes that there are few actual answers. It is not quite popular science nor art history but will be of definite interest to those involved in art or advertising. http://michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews/Reviews.asp?
