I am currently enrolled on the L&D Level 3 Diploma and one of the assessments I need to do is to designing a learning session (working with another member of the group). Our topic 'using colours in learning'.
Colour is around us all the time and we tend to just accept it, however, before weI start working on the session I wanted to do a little research around this. Many people have no issues with colour but I know others do eg my husband is colour blind and has problems differentiating between green and red. This has made me think about what we would need to take into account when designing a learning session using colour and so I thought I would turn to the community to get feedback from people on their experience of colour, for example:
Does it make you happy/sad?
Are you colour blind and if so what colours cause you problems.
I would look to hear from anyone with a view on this topic.

Hi Sharon,
There is a very interesting book on colour with the Title. Colour in the Making, from old wisdom to new brilliance. Published by Black Dog Publishing in London, authors. Mark Clarke and Philip Ball. It looks as colour in art, the science of colour and history and chemical innovations for modern colour making, so lots of learning connections to make there and explanations. It was a present to me so I am not sure if you might find it in the Library but hope this might be useful for you.
