The qualities and properties of the light illuminating a visual design can greatly affect how it looks. Seemingly simple things like defining what "white" is can completely change how something is perceived.

• Basic light physics – Coming soon
• Standard illuminants and color temperature – How white is defined in environments with different lighting conditions.
• Chromatic aberration – How different colors of light bend through lenses.
• Infrared and ultraviolet photography – Coming soon
• Measuring color – Coming soon
