My teacher said choose something I'm interested in and that for me if Visual Arts. I finally decided I want to research paint but I have no idea how to approach it. I'm finding it complicated to understand the theory and have no idea how I can even make a quantitative experiment out of it. Any ideas where I should start?

Have you heard of a colour wheel?
If you paint the three primary colours onto a disk, like angle segments (or pizza slices), and rotate the disk quite fast, the perceived colour changes to white. This is really an experiment on how the human eye perceives colour. The human eye cannot distinguish movement faster than 0.04 of a second, so you can't see the primary colours, and the human eye mixes the colours and it appears to be white. You could experiment with many of the variables in this experiment, and see what effect it has on the perceived colour.
Is that something you would be interested in?
