| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates formation of colour theory in the Government School of Design during the Victorian era, which shows the significance of the colour education. The design educators paid great attention to George Field’s colour theory of primaries as well as French chemist Chevreul's colour theory. In order to improve quality of industrial design, Richard Redgrave mainly introduced the two theories into curriculum and authored the textbook “An Elementary Manual of Colour”. Also, the educational methodology and the colour education were disseminated to other countries including Japan. Interestingly, the application of the colour theory can be seen in designs and manufactures by the graduate Christopher Dresser.
