Color makes its way into natural science images as early as the research process. It serves for self-reflection and for communication within the scientific community. However, color does not follow a standard in the natural sciences: its meaning is contingent, even though culturally conditioned.
Digital publishing enhances the use of color in scientific publications; at the same time. This volume consists of 13 articles on the use of color in science, focusing on the meaning of color in medicine, philosophy, and other disciplines and in specific contexts. They discuss color in medical images; the absence and reappearance of chromophobia in 18th-century France; systems of documenting color in archaeological ceramics; color and logic; the use of color in mathematical models.
