Uittreksel

Benson, an architect, published his unique cube-shaped color solid in 1868. Benson's cube model stands on end with a black to white vertical axis ... Benson's elegant diagrams, along with handcolored plates, show how the cube may be sliced to reveal colors that form the interior. He cites Mayer, Runge, and Chevreul as sources for this theories, but criticizes Field as being "too hasty". (Color Documents no.27). Herbert also comments on the book: "Author's color standard based on a cube tipped on a point, and incorporating the then recent theories of Maxwell and Helmholtz" ("A Color Bibliography, II in Yale Library Gazette 1977, p. 143)
