Color For Everyone - Wednesday 2:15 - 5:30

We all think that color is obvious to everyone who views objects, and yet it is elusive in its description and communication. Three ISCC members will bring together information and interactive experiences to guide attendees through the description and communication of color. We will outline color communication for art and creative processes, manufacturing of consumer products, and highlight research and standard methods to help bring clarity to this inexact science of color. This three part workshop is a deep dive into visual evaluation, translating the visual evaluation to numeric values with instrumentation, and fundamental building blocks for a color program.
