Links to Color Webpages

Serendip sees the web as a tool which can make education a more interactive and exploratory process, by making freely available educational resources at a variety of levels and also, even more importantly, be making it increasingly possible to learn by doing (see Serendip's web principles and credo on education and technology). To encourage understanding and use of the web in this way, Serendip provides annotated lists of links useful for learning/teaching in a variety of areas (see Interactive Physics and Interactive Chemistry). The focus is not on course syllabi or notes but rather on materials from which individuals can learn themselves, and particularly on those with an interactive component. This list and annotations was created by Katie DiFelice. Links were checked July 2005 by Yaena Park. Suggestions for additions to the list are warmly welcomed and should be sent to Serendip.

Interactive

Games for Kids
Exploratorium's Online Seeing Exhibits ... Not directly dealing with color, but some neat interactive optical illusions
Colour Museum ... Geared mostly for younger children, this Colour Museum web site - created by the Society of Dyers and Colourists - has aspects about elementary aspects of colour. 'Fun Stuff' includes interactive eye games
Optical Illusions ... Check out the colorful optical illusions, and some interesting articles on Color Theory, mostly dealing with the colorcube as a representative color space. provided by manufacturers of the Colorcube
Color Interactive ... from this site, you can download a 'color interactive' tutorial for Macintosh computers
Advanced Exhibits
Color Perception Applets ... Lots of different interactive applets that deal with color theory (probably more helpful after some previous introduction into color theory)
Causes of Colors ... Information about seeing colors, neat interactive pictures under "colorblindedness", and one under "animal vision"
Color Therapy ... Not a technical website, but another interesting view on color (with some neat graphics) for color meditation and color symbolism
efg's Computer Lab ... many interactive exhibits (for PCs) that deal with color, imaging, mathematics, and engineering
Molecular Expressions Microscopy Primer: Light and Color ... a list of some very neat interactive demonstrations of light behaviors, some of which deal with color.
Virtual Labs ... fun with color in many different interactive applications
Color Box Applet ... basic display that lets you mix colors in different ways
Color Interactive ... from this site, you can download a 'color interactive' tutorial for Macintosh computers
