Colour School
Go to school – the colour school – it is fun!Who can differentiate HSB from HLC? Who knows more than just a few colours out of NCS or RAL, who knows the essence of these systems? Such knowledge is important in order to make informed decisions in the field of colour.
In playfully prepared exercises you pull colour chips to their correct positions. Doing this you learn fundamentals of systems and colour models. There are abundant conclusions, tips, and notes for your daily work with colour.
Taking the lower colour fields, and sorting them correctly above is sometimes easy...
...sometimes also challenging. In any case instructive.

Exercises won’t start?
In order to access the exercises two conditions have to be met:
- Javascript must be activated in your browser (in Mozilla Firefox under "Extras/Settings/Contents").
- The Flash-Player must have permission from the system to play content. To this end a security file in the system area, which contains the path to the colour school, is used. The Digital Colour Atlas writes this file at the start of the program automatically – however separating the colour school from the rest of the Colour Atlas software is not so easily done.
