About ColorAcademy

The ColorAcademy Encyclopedia started life as a web-based system and has now evolved into a CD-Rom. ColorAcademy endeavours to explain something of the history, psychology, meanings and values that people have attributed to colours.

ColorAcademy online is a meeting place and forum for ideas and discussions about colour, - in fact for finding out anything you want to know about colour. New articles are always available along with discussion forums and updates for the encyclopedia.

ColorAcademy centres on colour as a means of communication, especially for those interested in Arts & Humanities.

For those who know little about the practice of using colour, ColorAcademy explains basic principles for choosing and mixing colours and how they behave when placed one against another.

For Artists and designers ColorAcademy gives guidance on how to combine colours to achieve the effect one wants.
