Color

Color is a very interesting subject in several sectors of human activity. It has been studied extensively for many centuries, and as well as contributing to theoretical and scientific knowledge, there have been significant developments in applied colour research.

Color in theory and practice

Color and colorimetry are applied in most professional fields and applications: visual communication, restoration of cultural heritage, photography, architecture, chemistry and more.
Research on color also includes issues in digital color. Indeed, nowadays information travels through digital media. Within these media colour is represented differently, for example RGB for monitors and CMYK for printers. Moreover, the different devices (scanner, camera, monitor, printer) have intrinsic limitations in the representation of colours that must be correctly managed, in order to have the same colour on different devices.
