Colorimetry is very important in the fashion industry. In the case of fashion consultants, it is essential that they understand which colors suit people best according to their physical anatomy and skin tone, as well as their personal characteristics. Each person will be more comfortable with a series of colors and, in some cases, will have more than one shade banished from their wardrobe. However, for fashion designers, knowledge in this field goes beyond that, as their creations must be in line with the season's trends, becoming prescribers of fashion color, which will ultimately be used by a large percentage of society in a given season.  

This program in Colorimetry has been designed by TECH with the objective of bringing fashion professionals closer to the in-depth study of colors, which will be fundamental for their successful development within the industry. And, for this, it offers its students a very comprehensive syllabus, which includes aspects related to the theory of color or its perception, color models and standardization, the composition and functions of the image, the meaning of each color, or the application of color to design, among other very useful topics for professionals in this field.  

In short, TECH aims to meet the high specialization objective demanded by fashion designers, who are looking for high-quality programs to improve their skills and offer users garments that will become indispensable for their closet. And to achieve this goal, it offers students a cutting-edge program adapted to the latest developments in the sector, with an up-to-date syllabus developed by experienced professionals who are willing to put all their knowledge at the disposal of their students.
