New publication: Colour in Heritage. Perception, Materiality and Digital Reinterpretation

Editors: Sofia Pescarin, Cristiana Barandoni, Arthur Clay, George Papadopoulos, and Irina Crina Anca Sandu

📘 This open access book explores the challenges and opportunities of preserving, reconstructing, exhibiting, and communicating colour in cultural heritage through advanced digital technologies.

🌈 Published within the PERCEIVE Horizon Europe project, the volume proposes a new theoretical and methodological framework dedicated to colour perception, its cognitive and emotional dimensions, and its role in cultural heritage.

🖼️ Through five key research scenarios — from ancient polychrome sculptures and paintings to textiles, historical photographs, and digital-born artworks — it offers an interdisciplinary perspective on how colour can be experienced, interpreted, and cared for in both physical and virtual spaces.

📚 Colour in Heritage is part of the book series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, volume 15750) by Springer Nature and is freely available online.
