Really interesting findings and insights about colors

Just finished the online course The Science of Colors: from Product to Experience Design developped by DervalResearch. Really interesting findings and insights about colors. For example, Pantone 1837 or better known as Tiffany & Co. blue has been in the spotlight lately. No doubt it is a beautiful and well recognisable color but on top of that it is special because of the Haidinger's Brush effect, as explained in the course.
