"Colour Technology"
concerns the science and technology associated with creating, controlling
and characterising the visual appearance of coloured materials, objects
and images. Examples can often help to clarify meaning so just look
around you. The inks, paints, coatings, fabrics and cosmetics used to
control the appearance of ourselves and the objects and surroundings
in our everyday life are included. "Colour" is used as short-hand
for appearance, which includes colour, gloss, translucency and texture.
From traditional
beginnings, colour technology now includes the ways by which colour
and appearance information can be represented in digital imaging; the
capture, storage, distribution and reproduction of coloured images.
Education
and Training: The opportunity for full-time study,
part-time study, and industrial training in all aspects of colour science
and technology is provided by the Department
of Colour Science of the University of Leeds (UK).
Research
and Development:The Colour
Science research sections at the University of Leeds study the chemical,
physical, visual and psychological aspects of colour science and technology.
Probably the only place in the
world that does it all.
Service
to Industry: Colour
Science Analytical is Leeds University's service for the colour-making
and colour-using industries. A facility to help solve
problems in imaging, coloration and the creation and performance of
coloured materials.
