色彩研究因其处于艺术与科学的交界线而备受瞩目。研究色彩可以采用不同的路径，比如光波、能量波动或是计算折射角和焦点。色彩也可以被理解为情感的提示符，一个寓意，一种文化符号，或是某些艺术家的交流工具。人类创造的玻璃，同样也是科学与艺术共同造就的综合性材料。玻璃诞生的原料、颜色、造型和工艺无一不与科学技术相关，又因创作者和使用者的审美而继续生长变化。色彩与玻璃，在科学与艺术的界面中和谐共处，共同碰撞。

上海玻璃博物馆在今年推出了《色彩实验室》系列展览，旨在深度挖掘馆藏品的信息，通过实验室风格的文本阐释方式和展陈设计，以色彩链接玻璃制作技术和工艺，凸显展品的科学性和技术性。此次《色彩实验室：绿》将继续关注色彩，以“绿色系”玻璃为核心，向观众展现关于绿色玻璃的科普故事和硬核知识。

绿色，可谓是人类玻璃制造历史中最先接触的颜色之一。当时的人们无法剔除原料中的亚铁离子一类的杂质离子，很难得到透明无暇的玻璃，制出的玻璃多显绿色。随着玻璃制造工艺的发展，人们可以自如地去除杂质，通过在原料中添加氧化亚铁和氧化铬等着色剂人为地控制绿色玻璃的制作。从因技术原因造成的“不得以而为之”到最后熟练掌握材料的特性，绿色玻璃伴随了人类漫长的发展时期，自然也产生了许多谜团和精彩掌故。

隋代史书中记载的“绿瓷”是何物？

制造核武器的材料竟然可以制作玻璃器皿？

为什么我们的啤酒瓶大多是绿色？

可口可乐公司为何要使用绿色玻璃弧形瓶？……

正如绿色在某种程度上象征着希望、重生和和平，绿色玻璃也如同这生生不息的颜色，必将继续扎扎实实地为人类生活和社会发展做出了不可忽视的贡献。

玻璃窗外虽寒风凌冽，但室内依然绿意盎然。

这正是科学与艺术相交织带来的丰饶和收获。

Color research has attracted a lot of research focus as it implies how art and science intersect. Color can be studied from different perspectives, such as light wave, energy fluctuation or calculation of refraction angle and focus. Moreover, color can also be interpreted as an emotional prompt, an implication, a cultural symbol, or a communication tool of some artists. It is known that man-made glass is a comprehensive material jointly spawned by science and art. The raw materials, colors, shapes and processes of making glass are all closely related to science and technology, and they continuously change due to the shifting aesthetic tastes of glass makers and users. Color and glass always coexist harmoniously and collide with each other on the boundary between science and art.

This year, the Shanghai Museum of Glass has launched the “Color Lab” exhibition series, aiming to tap deeply into its collections, adopt laboratory-style text interpretation and exhibition design, and link colors to glass making technology and craftsmanship, to highlight the scientific and technical nature of the exhibits. The “Color Lab: Green” exhibition will continue to focus on color, with “green glass” as the core exhibit, and will present science stories and hard-core knowledge about green glass for the audience.

Green is one of the first colors used in the glass manufacturing industry in history. In the past, people had no way to remove impurity ions such as ferrous ions from raw materials when making glass. As a result, it was difficult to produce transparent glass in ancient time, and most of the glass made by the ancients was green. With the development of glass manufacturing technology, people can freely remove impurities, and artificially control the production process of green glass by adding colorants such as ferrous oxide and chromium oxide to raw materials. Green glass, turning from an “inevitable” product due to technical reasons to intentional creation when characteristics of materials are eventually mastered by glass makers, has accompanied the long development history of human beings. As a result, a lot of mysteries and wonderful anecdotes about green glass have passed down.

Although the cold wind swipes outside glass windows, eye-catching green still thrives indoors.

This is the prosperity and harvest brought by the interweaving of science and art.
