Welcome to the Colour Literacy Project (CLP)!
We are in the process of developing a resource site for anyone who teaches about colour. At the heart of the site is an meta-disciplinary colour curriculum that combines core colour concepts from the sciences, the arts, and the humanities.
With hands-on colour exercises designed to be free of common misconceptions this curriculum updates and expands traditional colour theories for use in the 21st century classroom. This new curriculum will provide a universal foundation for further explorations of the fascinating field of colour and, we hope, open our eyes to the wonder of colour in our world!
Beta-Testing 2025-2026
We are currently beta-testing a collection of exercises for the new curriculum. Our goal is to gain insights and feedback related to the exercises’ effectiveness in expanding students' understanding of:
The fundamental role of colour in our lives.
The foundational core concepts across disciplines.
The results of the beta-testing will help us refine the curriculum based on experiential usage data. Once this beta-testing period concludes, the CLP will focus on making the new curricula available for educators around the world to freely use in their teaching and research.
If you are a teacher interested in beta-testing the exercises during the 2025-2026 school year, please fill out this contact form with Beta-Testing in the subject line, so we can connect with you!
