Wow is color difficult…..!

If you find color difficult, you are not alone! In a  recent study with soon-to-be colour professionals – textile MA students at prestigious Royal College of Art in London –  it turns out they have very poor knowledge of color terms.

Over 60% of the students are not familiar with  “additive color”. 90% are not familiar with “CIE space”. “Munsell” and “NCS” is unfamiliar to over 80% of the respondents. Over 60 % are unfamiliar with “wavelength”.  etc. Almost 60% however, could give a full description of the term “moodboard”.......

Well, do you have to know science of color terms? No, of course not. But color does not come only from moodboards, color is technically very specific, scientific and precise. As a comparison, do you have to know what specific words mean to write a novel?  No……   Or, maybe you are more likely to reach success if you know what you are doing.... :-)

Kolormondo is like an ABC book for  basic understanding of color theory.  And it can be used as a bridge and a reference between experts  – with all their complicated terms  – and the beginner.

Once you have come across a Kolormondo  3D color sphere, it is easier to understand what  CIE, NCS, Munsell etc is.

I wonder if the students would be able to give a full description of the word “saturation”.....?
