Undoubtedly the most significant discovery in colour chemistry in the post-Mauveine period was due to the work of Peter Griess, which provided the foundation for the development of the chemistry of azo dyes and pigments. In 1858, Griess demonstrated that the treatment of an aromatic amine with nitrous acid gave rise to an unstable salt (a dia-zonium salt) which could be used to prepare highly coloured compounds. 

The potential value of the application of molecular orbital methods in colour chemistry is immense. In essence, the reason for this is that the methods enable, in principle, many of the light absorption properties of dyes, from a knowledge of their chemical structure, to be calculated with the aid of a computer. Thus, the colour properties of any dye whose structure may be drawn on paper may be predicted, with some expectation of accuracy, without the need to resort to devising a method for the...

This book is concerned with the technological applications of colour chemistry and there is no intention in this introduction to cover the theoretical aspects of the topic. Specific aspects of colour theory are covered as needed within the main body of the text. For those requiring a more detailed treatment of the theoretical aspects of colour physics excellent texts are available, whilst they are summarised in very readable forms in others of a more general nature.

Although strictly falling outside the scope of this book on colour chemistry, fluorescent brightening agents (FBAs) are of such importance and interest that an exception will be made in their case. The global consumption of brighteners was 170 000 tonnes in 1997 and is predicted to reach 230 000 tonnes by 2003.
