✦ Synopsis
Livening up the festivities was a top hat and tails presentation by a member of the Swedish Porter Drinkers Association who, between frequent swigs to prove his dedication, managed to give an excellent overview of Goteborg's history of brewing and exporting beer.
On Monday morning, the conference moved to the comfortable Hotel 11 situated on the water's edge of a beautiful and busy harbor. The hotel recently won an award for its color design, a topic that provided much debate during breaks. The first keynote address was by Anders Hird, who outlined the communicative aspects of color: as information about the existence of objects, as information about the quality of objects, and to decorate. He suggested these might be seen as a basic concept for color ordering. His presentation both focused and provided an invigorating start for the day's papers addressing "Aspects of Color Perception." Patrizia Da Re and Osvaldo Da Pos presented preliminary work on surface color constancy in light and shadow in children to test the possible developments that color perception undergoes with age. Ian Kelly presented a prototype of a two-stage evolutionary model to aid in choosing color combinations for designers. His categorizations depend upon simplified criteria including an averaging of the RGB values, maximum and minimum lightness (CIELAB L*) and an average chroma (CIELAB C*).
