    The class is composed of 3 main parts: 

    1. Why colour affects us

    2. The 3 factors impacting our perception of colour: Light, Culture and Time 

    3. Finally, 4 interesting stories illustrating how colour is intertwined with how people feel and behave and how it can be used as a tool to bring out certain emotions or behaviours from us.
