AIC Annual Newsletter 2009 | Annual Review, Vol. 22

With this Newsletter, we are returning to a one-year cycle. My AIC color highlights occurred in Stockholm at the midterm meeting. Before the meeting, I spent the day at the Vasa Museum viewing the World’s only surviving 17th century ship. The ship was affixed with incredible carvings, originally polychrome. There was a display of the pigments they identified and a reproduction of how these carvings might have appeared before the paint was removed by the ravages of time.
My second colorful event was taking a course about the NCS system. It was a great opportunity to learn about this important color-order system in the location where it was developed.
