Leeds LS2 9JT, England. Offers two B.Sc. courses, "Colour Chemistry and Dyeing" and "Colour Chemistry and Polymer Science"; two MSc courses, "Colour Physics, Polymer and Surface Coatings Science and Technology", and "Colour Application Technology"; and Ph.D. courses by research in ALL aspects of colour -- details at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/ccd/. The Head of Department is Prof. David M Lewis. The department undertakes teaching and research in various aspects of the coloration industry, from textile coloration to surface coatings to dye synthesis to colour physics to specialty chemicals and high technology chemical analysis. Leeds is well over a hundred years old with a fine history in the coloration industry. The department as of January will be publishing its own international journal entitled "Topics in Colour Chemistry." Alec Wills
University of Portsmouth, Department of Psychology Colour in Displays Unit.
"Although we specialise in M. Phil. and Ph.D. Postgraduate Programmes by Research, we have a growing band of people on our undergraduate courses who have been grabbed by colour. At the moment we have people working on the following: Calibration of displays, colour coding of control room displays, modeling colour naming on displays, use of colour overheads to improve reading, colour categorisations of young children, and a replication of part of Lippert's work using typical colour displays rather than HUDs." Darren Van Laar
