Colour and Light (CDN)
(Canadian Version) Without light, an object or a viewer, we do not have colour. In fact, the way we perceive and view colour is impacted by light, both natural and artificial. This course delves into the properties of colour and light. The program includes discussions on types of lighting, metamerism, colour rendering index (CRI), and light reflectance value (LRV) and how they affect design choices.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Summarize the role of light and the process that occurs between the brain and the eye for humans to see and perceive colour.
Differentiate between various types of lighting properties and characteristics, including efficiency and general differences in wavelengths of light.
Describe simultaneous contrast, metamerism, and colour constancy, and how they affect the perception of colour.
Explain Light Reflectance Value (LRV) and the different types of light distribution.
