FAQ
What is Maxwell's primary function?
Maxwell allows users to interactively mix colors using both additive (light) and subtractive (pigment) models. It visualizes the emissions spectrum of mixed colors and demonstrates the trichromatic nature of human vision.
How does Maxwell explain color perception?
The app visualizes how different light spectra stimulate the L/M/S cones in the eye. It also features a Metamerie gallery to show how physically different light sources can produce the same perceived color.
Can I create my own light sources in Maxwell?
Yes, Maxwell includes a Light Source Lab where you can build custom light sources using Gauss peaks. You can then observe their spectrum, cone stimulation, and perceived color in real-time.
What devices is Maxwell available on?
Maxwell is a universal app, meaning it is available for Mac, iPad, and iPhone, offering a consistent experience across Apple devices.
How much does Maxwell cost?
Maxwell is a paid application, priced at $2.99. There are no in-app purchases or advertisements.
Does Maxwell have ads?
No, Maxwell is ad-free. The app description explicitly states 'Keine Werbung' (No advertising) and 'Nur Physik' (Just physics).
What is the update frequency for Maxwell?
Maxwell was last updated on May 31, 2026, with version 1.0.1. Further update frequency is not specified, but the initial release suggests ongoing development.
Is Maxwell suitable for young learners?
With an age rating of 4+, Maxwell is designed to be accessible. Its interactive nature and visual explanations can make complex color science concepts understandable for a wide range of ages.
