This interdisciplinary workshop addresses the historical, scientific and linguistic approaches towards colour terminology and colour semantics. It explicitly looks into the history of
technical terms, the material knowledge of art technology, the use of different registers of colour vocabulary and the interaction of colour language and culture, thereby addressing
the question of colour terminology both historically and systematically.
