English polymath Sir Isaac Newton changed the way we understand colour and light. Published in 1704, Opticks details his findings regarding the dispersion of white light into the spectrum of visible colour using a crystal prism, and still acts as a source of inspiration for creatives today. Stylus highlights the aesthetic influence of this scientific approach to colour in contemporary art and design.
