Understanding the fundamentals of visual colour assessment and instrumental colour measurement for Industry, Design and Research.

This course is so thorough, in depth and the sections are easy to follow. Highly recommended!

I found this course to be very thorough in providing an overview of the history and science behind colour measurement. Very informative and methodical in approach. Well worth the time invested in working through the program.

A good overview of colour theory and its application. Only issue of consequence was when completing the colour exercises and achieving a zero error result, there was no automatic redirect back to the next section of the course.

I completed the Colour Made Simple Online Training Course after my employer suggested the idea to me. As a development chemist in the coatings industry I find it imperative to understand the basics behind the interactions of coloured pigments as part of a topcoat system. Nick Harkness and his team provided me the fundamental tools and resources to learn and udnerstand colour science and how this applies to my day to day tasks in formulation and development. The course was self paced which provided the flexibility to learn and understand the modules completely. Furthermore, this allows me to pursue further reading on specific topics of interest without feeling rushed. It was very interesting to learn the history and evolution of colour science and how psychology plays a key role in colour theory, in addition to learning the science and mathematics of colour equations. Some modules had exercises linked, which allow for application of learned knowledge from the lecture and also for increased memory retention of certain concepts. Furthermore, the further reading page provides helpful resources to expand and investigate certain topics after the course was completed. Some helpful feedback to improve this course would be: > For the notes/slides for each module be made available for download as it was sometimes difficult to take constructive notes whilst watching the lecture. It would also allow me to revisit notes made at a later time. > Furthermore, adding some emphasis on the application of CIELAB/CMC equations to different industries, as I was made aware that the weight of constants for CIELAB2000 may be different according to the end purpose, so some examples where this may be the case will help with understanding and retention. > Some information regarding how the chemical and physical properties of pigments can change depending on how it is processed. It would also be nice to be provided a general overview on inorganic pigments too. > Some more application, examples and interactive exercises would be preferred, especially applying information regarding metamerism and colour assessment. Overall I did enjoy the colour course, and I found it useful for my purpose of understanding colour and visual assessment and how I can apply this theory into areas of my development work.

This was an amazing introduction to the complex and very interesting topic of the effects and differences amongst colours. Some of the topics covered became very technical and it was a good insight into how involved the measurement of colour becomes- it would take some time and experience to become very proficient at this skill. The Colour Made Simple course was very comprehensive and served to whet the appetite to read more about colour - good references were supplied. I really enjoyed the course and thought the presentation was excellent. Thank you for providing this course online.

Color made Simple on line course, is excellent in visual aspect, course covered all areas relating to color in a fairly simple manner and simple access to the course at any time any where with internet. .
