Theory of Colours (German: Zur Farbenlehre) is a book by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe about the poet's views on the nature of colours and how they are perceived by humans. It was published in German in 1810 and in English in 1840. [1] The book contains detailed descriptions of phenomena such as coloured shadows, refraction, and chromatic aberration.
