Color is one of the few disciplines that cuts across the boundaries of art, biology, physics, psychology, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, and many other fields. There is hardly an object or a substance in nature that is not colored and virtually every commercially marketed item today is either deliberately colored or de-colored.

Color production by conjugated organic compounds, coordination compounds, and semiconductors; compounds exhibiting color due to charge transfer; and a listing of representative inorganic pigments.

Artists' colors have been intertwined with chemistry from antiquity, both in the extraction of them from raw materials and their production by the 'manufacturing chemists' of their day. In our own time, not only has chemistry made possible the enormous expension of the artist's palette, but also has provided methods to study it scientifically with a view to restoration, preservation, authentication, and understanding of works of art.
