For the past six years, the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson has been working with a color chemist to produce paint pigments that correspond to each nanometer of the visible light spectrum.

For a later piece, Room for One Colour (1997), Eliasson lit an enclosed space with monochromatic bulbs, creating an ambient light that makes every color look like some shade of yellow or gray.

For Eliasson, monochromatic paintings and limpid yellow spaces are not ornamental; light is not incidental, but a medium of dialogue between the viewer and his environments.
