The masters of world colour assembled in Sydney for a week-long conference on all facets of colour at the International Colour Conference at UNSW. Held only once every four years – Sydney was awarded the prestigious honour of hosting the event back in 2005. Experts from over 30 countries included Doctors and Professors from Oxford and Cambridge discussing the nuances of art and colour and psychology as well as technical experts discussing the restoration of faded pigments in Masterpieces by Van Gogh and the display of colours not seen in the originals for over a century. Such snippets are only a small example of the rich and fascinating week where a fusion of interior design, architecture, lighting expertise, art, colour science and so much more came together to celebrate our sense of the visual and to rejoice in a homogenous melting pot where all could feast upon the excitement and passion on all things colour related. The success of this inspirational event was a direct result of years of work invested into the project by our own talented Nick Harkness - and his team of Colour Society experts, organisers and facilitators. Too many to name – Nick’s team consisted of the leading lights and an assortment of angels from the colour related industries down under.
Representing Australia’s European roots Babette Hayes enlightened visiting international and local designers and architects with an insight into how the local Australian style of colour and interior decoration evolved from within the sense of the cultural isolation that existed in the early 1960’s. An Australian icon– Babette’s pictorial presentation is a record of the development of our local Australian style and gives witness to many of those exquisite moments which helped fashion the sense of confidence and innovation that defines Australia today.
Congratulations to all who came and especial thanks to all who made it happen.

How proud we were to see those living treasures of Australian academia and culture present equally well alongside the best of an array of international authorities. The proceedings began with a mesmerising dance and song of welcome from 
The influx of expert thinkers and presenters to this forum on colour in Sydney Australia in 2009 is certain to influence and encourage new applications of colour in science, industry, the visual arts and education in Australia for many years to come. 
Develop colour consciousness by investigating the intricate nature of the interaction of colour and human perception and experience. What happens between colours when influenced by light, texture, space, culture, language and psychology. How do the relationships between these phenomena influence our perception of our immediate and global environs.
