Abstract
This invention underlies a set of 3-dimensional art objects which may also find utility in the studies of vision science, geometry and physics. The apparent luminance of reflected colors is altered by the introduction of zero (or low) light intervals. In the first species, the intervals of darkness lie between colored regions in a static manner. In the second species, a time-period of darkness is caused by shadows. When viewed under incidental white light, the objects (except for three alternates described in section II) exhibit additive primaries by reflection to stimulate sensations of secondary colors—magenta, cyan, and yellow—and tertiary colors

1-7. (canceled)
A tri-primary, additive color-mixing process producing a range of colors including magenta, cyan and yellow, wherein intervals of darkness and diffuse reflections from a minimum of three primary-color domains, each domain being red, green, or blue, and located at the surface, or surfaces, of a three-dimensional structure, are reintegrated to stimulate a plurality of secondary colors in an observer by means of changes in orientation between the observer and the structure.
A top with a curved base and a shaft for spinning the top, wherein a disc of rigid material is fixed orthogonally between said base and said shaft, said top having a center of mass located in a zone slightly above the radius of arc, or radial center, of said base.
