If you find color difficult, you are not alone! In a study with soon-to-be color professionals – textile MA students at prestigious Royal College of Art in London – it turns out they have very poor knowledge of colour terms.
Over 60% of the students are not familiar with basic terms like “additive colour”. 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 these terms? No, of course not, most people don´t. But color does not come only from moodboards. Color is technically very specific, scientific and precise. And think about it; do you have to know the meaning of words to write a novel? No…… or?
And this is where Kolormondo comes in. Kolormondo is like an ABC book for basic understanding of colour 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 color sphere, it is easier to understand what CIE, NCS, Munsell etc is.
Kolormondo is used for children as well as for adults, particularly in introductory courses in design, art, print, fashion, beauty etc at universities and in the industry. by building the globe you get a hands-on experience ofthe world of color.
The globes come in different sizes, here is the Pro version: KOLORMONDO PRO - COLOR WHEEL WITH NCS®© AND CMY CODES
