Yep, both are true.
From The Newton Project "Newton burst onto the scientific world on 19 February 1672 with the publication, in the Royal Society's journal Philosophical Transactions, of his 'New Theory about Light and Colors', recounting the experiments he had conducted six years earlier which led him to the conclusion 'that Light it self is a Heterogeneous mixture of differently refrangible Rays'. This seems a commonplace enough remark today but at the time it stood all the accepted theories of the nature of light on their heads and elicited a number of critical responses to which Newton reacted very badly."
