Rolf's extensive research on color tolerances, metamerism, and hue perception modeling has had a profound impact. As the former editor of Color, Research, and Application, he played a crucial role in advancing the field. Kuehni's translations of influential German articles, his mentorship of aspiring color scientists, and his authored books have further solidified his status as a prominent figure in the field. With over 100 peer-reviewed articles, his expertise has significantly contributed to the understanding of color. Recognition for his exceptional work includes prestigious awards such as the Olney Medal, the Munsell Centennial Award, and the Godlove Award.

Journal of the International Colour Association (JAIC) Volume 33 (2023): Special Issue on Contributions by the Colour Literacy Project Team This new JAIC special issue focuses on contributions by the Colour Literacy Project (CLP) team. The CLP is an educational initiative by the ISCC and the AIC that aims to bridge the gap between arts and sciences in colour education and addresses misconceptions about colour. The special issue includes articles by team members discussing various aspects of the project and exploring topics in colour theory and application. The articles cover areas such as colour perception, colour harmony theories, colour in design and art, and foundational colour training. The authors emphasize the complexity of colour and the need for hands-on exploration and direct experience. The special issue also highlights the involvement of the CLP team in initiatives and collaborations with primary and secondary schools, and art and design post-secondary institutions.

Yevonde: Life and Colour Madame Yevonde (1893-1975) was a London-based photographer of portraits and still-life and a pioneer in photographic techniques in the 1930s, when it was not considered a serious medium. Yevonde's work is, therefore, significant in the history of British portrait photography. This hardcover book will accompany the National Portrait Gallery exhibition Yevonde: Life in Colour, opening in June 2023. This is the first exhibition dedicated to Yevonde Middleton since 1998 and will explore the story of her life and career. This illustrated publication showcases the work of Yevonde, providing in-depth context to her images. Published on 15 June 2023
