'Color Theory for Automotive Coatings' is a state-of-the-art learning approach to the world of automotive color. This learning tool provides important information to design engineers, color formulators, chemists, paint shop managers, color technicians, and anyone who wants to be more discerning about the science and communication of color. The content synthesizes both historic and current relevant color knowledge bases. The interactive educational design incorporates concepts of adult learning. The fundamentals of color and its application to the automotive industry are presented at the student's own pace. The learner has control of the learning process. We created our PPG Automotive color classes in the early 1990s to solve a recognized knowledge gap and training need. The classes taught basic colorimetry, and visual skills development, and emphasized standard color terminology. We bridged the gap and met the need using, a traditional training methodology - an expert/instructor teaching/lectoring to a group of students. The adage, 'Close one door and another opens' seems relevant. A new problem presented itself: The instructors were being pulled into areas of higher responsibility. We could not commit to the increased number of classes, and other instructors were simply not ready to assume the mantle of preparation and instruction. We embraced CD-ROM technology to create a program that satisfied the need for learning basic colorimetry, visual skills development, and standard color terminology. The technology helped to standardize our color training. We built in learner interaction and reinforcement, tenets of adult learning. In contrast to the traditional methods, this package provides the opportunity for learner-paced progression throughout the modules and gives the learner the advantage to review any lesson at any time. The response has been favorable, and we believe this type of training will continue to gain acceptance as learning paradigms shift. This medium is appropriate for the use we intended, but we do not believe it should replace all traditional learning approaches. It makes a wonderful addition to our organization's educational curriculum.
