Color Technology
Course objective
is to provide fundamentals of visual color
match evaluation and of color measurement for industrial color
control and for color harmony teams. Student teams work on projects
that demonstrate proper use of lighting, color vision testing,
proper terminology for reporting color differences, and
determination of tolerances. Portable daylighting is provided. The
teams analyze color measurement data from industrial samples to
study correlation of visual to measured results, using the most
recent SAE certified methods. An experienced instructor demonstrates
use of the spectrophotometer and assists with each team project in
which a variety of principles are studied. Elements of the design
process and resulting effect on color quality are discussed.
Typical registrants
are people working in industry with a need
to learn color fundamentals which will help deal with issues related
to designing and producing colored products. This includes lab and
QC technicians, sales and marketing specialists, designers,
engineers, color matchers, and production supervisors.
Class hours
are 8:30 to 4:30. Nearby overnight
accommodations are available, and the Livonia site is convenient to
Detroit Metro Airport.
Principle instructor
is Adjunct Professor Bill Longley of Color
Match Consulting. Other instructors are Allen Brown of Ford Motor in
visual evaluation, consultant Jim King for formulating and design
issues, and Bob Santine of X-Rite in color measurement.
Course fees
are $800. This includes a dedicated course-book, continental
breakfast and lunch each day, and all class supplies.

The course objective
is to provide technical fundamentals for matching and maintaining
color control for metallic and "effect" colors, including automotive
components and non-automotive applications. It includes proper
visual metallic color match evaluation using defined-viewing-angle
color protractors as well as use of multi-angle color difference
measurement to meet the revised SAE J1545 recommended practice.
Correlation of visual to measured data is studied from student
projects with metallic color samples and parts, using portable
daylighting and multi-angle spectrophotometer data.
The entire range of
effect pigments is surveyed for suitability to various products.
Formulating guidelines are discussed and a full presentation is made
on the effect of application and processing variables on resulting
color.
Class starts each
day at 8:30 am and concludes at 4:30. The Livonia classroom site is
a convenient drive from Detroit Metro airport. Nearby overnight
accommodations are available.
Students are
