WHAT'S SO SPECIAL
Understanding color on a flat surface is like trying to understand geography from a distorted map. Just like San Francisco and Tokyo can seem impossibly far apart on a 2D map, a flat color chart fails to show where colors actually relate to each other.
Kolormondo changes this by showing color in three dimensions — making hue, value, and saturation visible, logical, and intuitive.
COLOR MADE SIMPLE
Kolormondo turns color theory into something you can actually see and touch.
Instead of memorizing abstract rules, you can physically explore:
- color relationships
- harmony and contrast
- mixing and transitions
This creates a clearer understanding of how color works in practice.

HOW TO BUILD THE GLOBE
Watch the assembly video first — building Kolormondo is part of the experience and helps you understand the structure of color.

THE WORLD OF COLOR
In Kolormondo, color is structured as a three-dimensional system. The North Pole represents white, the South Pole represents black, and the center forms a neutral gray axis. Around the Equator you find the full color circle — the most chromatic hues.
This creates three clear dimensions:
- Hue — around the equator
- Value — up and down
- Chroma — toward the center
Kolormondo transforms color from a flat idea into a spatial system you can understand instantly.
We often get the reaction “Why didn't anybody do this before? It is so simple and obvious, yet both pretty and useful!".

THE CONCEPT
The concept has existed for hundreds of years, but it is only now, thanks to modern color research (Kolormondo is based on CMY, not RYB), that there is a product to be touched, played with, and learned from. Cyan blue, Magenta red and Yellow form a triangle on the Equator piece. All colors are created by mixing these three.

A COLOR TOOL
Kolormondo is a tool for teaching and discussing color, to find a certain hue and to see color relations. It is a bridge between experts and beginners. That is what makes it so special!
