Colour Training

Dr. Ingrid Calvo Ivanovic

Colour Designer, Researcher & Consultant

I specialize in helping individuals and businesses unlock the potential of colour to solve challenges, creating impactful, research-driven design solutions.

With a PhD in Design Research and over 16 years of experience, I specialise in developing innovative, research-based methodologies for the use and understanding of colour across design, architecture, and art. My approach blends scientific insight with creative intuition, always grounded in context and purpose.

As a Colour Consultant, I partner with companies to strengthen their products, environments, and brand identities through tailored colour strategies. I also work in curatorial and visual research roles, ensuring that colour decisions are both aesthetically powerful and functionally sound.

I actively contribute to the global colour community. I serve on the Executive Committee of the International Colour Association (AIC), sit on the Editorial Board of Color Research & Application, and co-chair the AIC Study Group on Colour Education. I’m also a Core Team member of the Colour Literacy Project, an international initiative to advance colour education across disciplines and levels.

Beyond research and consulting, I lead workshops, training sessions, 1:1 mentorships and provide lectures around the world, helping professionals and creatives build colour confidence and make informed decisions that drive innovation and sustainability.

Over the years, I’ve taught in leading Design, Architecture, and Art schools in Chile and Italy, supporting more than 1,000 students, educators, and professionals in using colour more effectively in their practice.

I’m always open to new collaborations—with businesses, creatives, and institutions—who want to explore colour as a lever for change, meaning, and distinction.

Let’s bring your vision to life—one colour at a time.
