Goethe[edit]

I'm trying to get some reliable sources for this. There is a lot of speculation. Anyway, it seems that Goethe did some writing on this, in his Theory of Colours, which might be worth mentioning (just because of his stature, whether or not it's plausible reasoning). But I don't have any first-hand or second-hand references for that. Any help? TomS TDotO (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
