Throughout history there have been many people who have tried to arrange colors into a system. One of the first was Leonardo da Vinci. In the 15th century, he co-founded of the theory of color.
The famous physicist Isaac Newton investigated colors in the 18th century. He directed light rays through a prism to show the three basic colors.
Artists are also interested in color theory. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe designed a theory using six basic colors that has been the basis for many more color theories.
Today red, yellow and blue are set as the primary colors. All other secondary and tertiary colors can be derived from these colors.
