"The Elements of Colour" is an online presentation I gave on May 18, 2023, for the Design Institute of Australia, focusing on the first of my two papers recently accepted for the Journal of the International Colour Association. The first part of the presentation provides illustrated explanations of eight attributes or dimensions of perceived colour - hue, lightness, chroma, brightness, colourfulness, saturation, blackness and brilliance - and the second part examines the connections between colour stimuli, colour perceptions and colour measurement to address the question of "what is a colour?". The third part gives an overview of some of the illustrations from the second paper, which analyzes colour perception in greater depth by discussing the major modes of colour appearance and the attributes of perceived colour and their interconnections in more detail. I recommend this presentation as an introduction to some of the most fundamental yet widely misunderstood concepts relating to colour.

I thank the Design Institute of Australia for their permission to use their recording of the introduction and concluding discussion from the presentation. The presentation itself has been re-recorded here at HD resolution. For information on future DIA events go to https://www.design.org.au/events.
