How color affects daily life and the formation and measurement of color. Color, colorants and the coloring of materials are examined. What color means, the effect of light on color, and the results of this effect on the human eye and mind are studied. The physical and chemical processes that apply colorants to textiles and methods for incorporating colorants into paints, inks, and plastics are also examined. The Textile Chemistry major will not be offered starting Fall 2005, but individual undergraduate and graduate courses will continue to be available to enable students to complete their programs.
