I would also like to say a special thanks to Richard Ashworth, Karen Skorski and Lisa Roberts at the Society of Dyers and Colourists for their time, expertise and opinions and to Simon Tiutwein, David Batchelor, Patrick Baty, Rob and Nick Carter, Karen Haller, Janet Best and Alan Dye for allowing me to interview them for this project. Also to Colin Jones and everyone at Blindness In Greenwich for their contributions and openness in discussing their experiences of colour. I would also like to acknowledge everyone who participated in the survey for this project, your contributions have helped to demonstrate the sheer variety in the way we describe colours, making the outcome of the project a viable proposition. I am also eternally grateful to Chris Duke and the print team at Blissetts for their endeavours to produce all the printed material for this project on time, to a tight budget. Finally, thanks to Andrew and my family for their support and understanding over the last two years and everyone else who has given their time or expertise to my research, without which this project would not have been possible.

Colour and language, the subjects of this investigation are both vast fields of study, with overlaps into a number of other areas. Ample context has been provided in this report as a reflection of the size of the subject area and the quantity of research undertaken to support the project overall. The framework of the investigation is established through the inclusion of key points, concepts and considerations from the original proposal for the project. This should allow the reader to gain a full understanding of the background, purpose and aims of the research. The various research methodologies employed throughout the project are described in detail and evaluated to give both an account and analysis of the progress of the project, as is the development of the design outcomes that have subsequently resulted from the research. It is intended that this document synthesise and rationalize the concepts that inform, support and have developed at a result of the project. The structure and content of the report aims to unite the numerous components of this investigation and present the project as a cohesive and reasoned body of work with a considered conclusion. Introduction “The philosopher Wittgenstein famously asked ‘How do I know that this color is red?—It would be an answer to say: I have learnt English’”. (Batchelor, 2000 pp.91) MAJOR PROJECT REPORT Introduction “The philosopher Wittgenstein famously asked ‘How do These questions and others are but some of the issues I know that this color is red?—It would be an answer to that afflict the way we use language to describe say: I have learnt English.’” (Batchelor, 2000 pp.91) and define our experience of colour. The system is complicated further, in that there are no standards But how do we know what is red, or blue or green? of individual colour perception. Colours vary with How does our understanding of these colours relate to context, surface texture and viewing conditions, while how we label them? And how well do our colour names colour terms are imprecise, have no chromatic content reflect the colours we are trying to identify? in themselves and there is no way of knowing that my notion of a particular hue is the same as anyone We all use colour names to describe things in everyday else’s. Trying to devise a system based on language, to life, whether to describe someone’s appearance, give accurately define colours is an impossible task. directions, or decipher colour-coded information. But how well do we use these terms? How consistent and Despite this we use language to reference colour all precise are we when it comes to defining what is claret, the time, we have too. Often there is no other available maroon or burgundy? Would we feel confident asserting means of referring to the particular hue we are trying that something was beige rather than taupe? Do we to describe. That the language system we use to talk know the difference between lilac and lavender? Is there about colour is inherently flawed, is all the more reason a real difference? why it should be studied and analysed to further our understanding. How effectively can this aspect of our communication function, when our own understanding of colour terms is insufficient or our language itself is lacking the precise descriptions we are grasping for? Proposal Outline MAJOR PROJECT REPORT Project Outline This section outlines key points from the original proposal submitted for this project. It details the parameters and frames of reference established for the investigation. 2.1 FIELD OF STUDY 2.2 FOCUS The subject of this investigation unites two independent Within the fields of study previously outlined, the focus and largely unrelated fields of study: colour theory of this investigation is defined as Colour Naming. It can and linguistics. It could more accurately be described be described as the process by which we equate the as being situated where these two areas intersect, the colours we perceive through our visual sensory system marriage of colour and language. with how we identify them using our language system. It is concerned with the body of colour terms that exist in Both of these areas have long histories and incorporate English, their relationships to each other, their real world many concepts and theories. Colour theory alone application and the problems that can occur when using bridges a number of subjects from: physics and language to identify and describe colours. optics, to the visual arts, to biology and neuroscience. Linguistics is also a substantial field of study, so in order to contain the scope of the research I have concentrated my attention only on the concepts that are particularly relevant to the research question. That both fields have well-established bodies of knowledge has validated my own investigation and provided a wealth of information with which to support it. I have also elected to focus this research on English colour names only. Although colour naming across different language systems is a rich area of study, it is a whole subject in itself and too extensive to investigate in any detail as it raises problems of translation and cross- cultural sensitivity. To further define the areas of interest, within colour theory I will specifically be concerned with colour perception and semiotics, with regards to linguistics. 2.3 RESEARCH QUESTION 2.4 PROJECT AIMS The research question originally stated in the proposal The fundamental aim of this research project is to for this project was: contribute to the understanding of how language is used to express colour, through observations, quantitative research, analysis and particularly visual HOW WE TALK ABOUT COLOUR: representation.

Price 32 7 1 National Bureau of Standards NOV 1 1955 8 (0*118 QC 00 U555 Cop. 1 Preface I^Ever since the language of man began to develop, words or expressions have been used first to indicate and then to describe colors. Some of these have per- sisted throughout the centuries and are those which refer to the simple colors or ranges such as red or yellow. As the language developed, more and more color names were invented to describe the colors used by art and industry and in late years in the rapidly expanding field of sales promotion. Some of these refer to the pigment or dye used, as Ochre Red or Cochineal, or a geographical location of its source such as Naples Yellow or Byzantium. Later when it became clear that most colors are bought by or for women, many color names indicative of the beauties and wiles of the fan- sex were introduced, as French Nude, Heart’s Desire, Intimate Mood, or Vamp. Fanciful color names came into vogue such as Dream Fluff, Happy Day, Pearly Gates, and Wafted Feather. Do not suppose that these names are without economic importance for a dark reddish gray hat for Milady might be a best seller ; if advertised as Mauve Wine whereas it probably would not if the color were called Paris Mud.

  • Gamblin Provides Is the Desire to Help Painters Choose the Materials That Best Support Their Own Artistic Intentions
    AUGUST 2008 Mineral and Modern Pigments: Painters' Access to Color At the heart of all of the technical information that Gamblin provides is the desire to help painters choose the materials that best support their own artistic intentions. After all, when a painting is complete, all of the intention, thought, and feeling that went into creating the work exist solely in the materials. This issue of Studio Notes looks at Gamblin's organization of their color palette and the division of mineral and modern colors. This visual division of mineral and modern colors is unique in the art material industry, and it gives painters an insight into the makeup of pigments from which these colors are derived, as well as some practical information to help painters create their own personal color palettes. So, without further ado, let's take a look at the Gamblin Artists Grade Color Chart: The Mineral side of the color chart includes those colors made from inorganic pigments from earth and metals. These include earth colors such as Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre, as well as those metal-based colors such as Cadmium Yellows and Reds and Cobalt Blue, Green, and Violet. The Modern side of the color chart is comprised of colors made from modern "organic" pigments, which have a molecular structure based on carbon. These include the "tongue- twisting" color names like Quinacridone, Phthalocyanine, and Dioxazine. These two groups of colors have unique mixing characteristics, so this organization helps painters choose an appropriate palette for their artistic intentions. Eras of Pigment History This organization of the Gamblin chart can be broken down a bit further by giving it some historical perspective based on the three main eras of pigment history – Classical, Impressionist, and Modern.

  • Color Matters
    Color Matters Color plays a vitally important role in the world in which we live. Color can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. It can irritate or soothe your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. When used in the right ways, color can even save on energy consumption. As a powerful form of communication, color is irreplaceable. Red means "stop" and green means "go." Traffic lights send this universal message. Likewise, the colors used for a product, web site, business card, or logo cause powerful reactions. Color Matters! Basic Color Theory Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications. There are enough to fill several encyclopedias. However, there are basic categories of color theory. They are the color wheel and the color harmony. Color theories create a logical structure for color. For example, if we have an assortment of fruits and vegetables, we can organize them by color and place them on a circle that shows the colors in relation to each other. The Color Wheel A color wheel is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first color wheel in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have studied a number of variations of this concept. Different opinions of one format of color wheel over another sparks debate. In reality, any color wheel which is logically arranged has merit. 1 The definitions of colors are based on the color wheel. There are primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors. Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blue o In traditional color theory, primary colors are the 3 colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors.
