Lecture
Our perception of color is deeply rooted in human evolution. Colors have a powerful emotional effect on us. Certain colors can trigger feelings such as joy, sadness, fear, or calm. Our emotional response to colors is closely linked to our cultural background and personal experiences.
Prof. Dr. Axel Buether, one of the world’s leading color experts and one of the most renowned color researchers in the German-speaking world, explains how colors affect our brains, what role they play in nature, and how they are interpreted in different cultures.
