"This is a webinar featuring a conversation with Nick Harkness about his labor of love 20 years in the making known as Colour Made Simple (CMS). Colour Made Simple is a holistic and practical online approach to colour theory. CMS is designed to teach the fundamentals of visual colour assessment and instrumental colour measurement for industry and research. Whether your area of colour expertise is art, design, education, measurement, engineering or technology, CMS has colour information of interest to you! CMS is comprised of approximately 800 PowerPoint slides many of which are animated, all with voice overs. There are eighteen chapters plus Introduction and Conclusions. The team from the University of Leeds has produced the online colour exercises which are an integral component of the webinar and are designed to colourfully describe the inherent properties of colours. Using a conversational approach, this webinar will provide a snapshot of the depth and strength of the CMS platform to be enjoyed by the international color community anywhere and anytime.
