Johann Heinrich Lambert was born on 26 August 1728 in Mulhouse, now Alsace, France. His father was a tailor named Lukas Lambert, whose father was also a tailor. The family was not wealthy and at the age of twelve the young Johann Lambert had to start working for his father which forced him to abandon school. Although he continued to work for his father, he did not give up his studies. He filled the time when he wasn't helping his father by reading and teaching himself scientific subjects. He had a desire to learn and expand his knowledge which pushed him to study. Even without formal education or teachers to guide him, he taught himself from a young age. At the age of fifteen he began working as a clerk to support his family and two years later he became a secretary. In his role as secretary he was able to resume his humanistic, philosophical and scientific studies, as well as mathematics and astronomy. In 1948 he began working as a tutor for the children of Count Peter von Salis in Chur. During his stay in Chur he continued to study and learn. His desire to learn, which began when he was young, was still present and pushed him to succeed. Lambert had access to the Salis family's enormous library in which he could continue his studies. His interests ranged from mathematics to philosophy, from astronomy to the humanities. During his stay in Chur he was elected a member of the Swiss Scientific Society and the Chur Literary Society. He made meteorological observations and wrote scientific articles as he became known in the scientific world.

I think color is an important part of my life due to the fact that it helps me distinguish different flowers as well as helps me with graphic design. Emily: Lambert's studies of color can be applied to any art student as we all use color in our careers. Lambert's color discoveries influence my study of interior design as color is significant in changing the mood and feeling in a room. His other studies were also inspiring in many ways as he strived to learn, no matter the obstacle or possible reward.
