CULTIVATING COLOUR LITERACY
The Colour Literacy Project is an educational initiative that recognizes colour as a Meta-discipline.
The goal is to strengthen the bridge between the arts and the sciences in 21st century colour education while connecting colour education with the needs of our evolving global culture and addressing common misconceptions about colour.
The primary objective of the project is to develop a colour education website which provides foundational, state-of-the-art resources for teachers at all education levels.
Fluency with the language of colour sharpens our visual intelligence, expands our perceptions, and enhances our ability to communicate.
21st century colour literacy is not just for artists and scientists — it is for everyone.

COLOUR LITERACY TENETS
“The Colour Literacy Project’s approach to colour is based on the best available peer-reviewed research on colour. The tenets describe our understanding of the fundamental facts about colour. They are what we support and believe to be useful as of now, but we remain open to new findings. ”
