The Color Science and Biology of Color modules were completed in Summer 2003. The Color Properties and Color Models modules will be completed for Fall 2003's IT 5110 class. The remaining modules will follow later.

This project is designed for college students who wish to learn the basics of color theory and about using color effectively in their designs. The Color Science and Biology of Color modules were completed in Summer 2003. The Color Properties and Color Models modules have been completed for Fall 2003's IT 5110 class.
