DEAR USERS, THIS WEBSITE HOSTS THE DIAMOND OPEN ACCESS PUBLICATIONS OF THE AIC-INTERNATIONAL COLOUR ASSOCIATION. ALL ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THIS SITE ARE CARRIED OUT EXCLUSIVELY ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS BY AIC MEMBERS.

THIS WAS AN ACTION WITHOUT ANY LOGICAL OR ETHICAL REASON AGAINST AN ASSOCIATION WHOSE PRIMARY MISSION IS NON-PROFIT SCIENTIFIC WORK DISSEMINATION AND WHICH HAS NO ECONOMIC INTERESTS NOR MANAGES ANY ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ON THIS WEBSITE. REBUILDING THE ARCHIVES WILL REQUIRE TIME AND PATIENCE FROM THE VOLUNTEERS WHO LAUNCHED THIS SITE TWO YEARS AGO. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
