Applying Color Theory

Make working with color fun and easy! This 5-hour interactive course uses a blend of videos and software simulations to teach the best quality control practices to streamline your color workflow.

Before taking this course, you should have a solid understanding of color theory, especially the concepts of L*a*b* and L*C*h°.  If you do not feel properly prepared, consider taking our Fundamentals of Color and Appearance course. FOCA addresses color control for a variety of industries including retail and apparel brands, business, and consumer electronics, automotive, packaging and their related industries in plastics, coatings, and textile manufacturing.
