-
how colour is formed

how artists use colour in creativity
-
how animals use colour as camouflage - changing colour to blend in with their environment
-
how some birds and reptiles use colour to stand out from the crowd - altering their colour to attract a mate
Eye-catching exhibits will also reveal how different cultures have used colour to communicate messages. In fact if you’ve ever wondered why you sometimes feel blue or in the pink then you’ll find the answer in 'Eye for Colour'!
