Archroma, Fashion Institute partner to create first colour centre


Archroma has partnered with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and its Textile Development and Marketing Department to create the first Archroma colour centre.
The Archroma colour centre @FIT is a facility where FIT students can utilize leading-edge industry colour management tools for their design projects, gaining hands-on expertise that equips them for successful careers in the fashion and textiles industries.
FIT students designed the space under the direction of Sean Cormier, an associate professor at the college’s Textile Development and Marketing program. Key components for the room were donated by Archroma.
The Archroma colour centre @FIT includes a large-scale colour reference that recreates the 4,320 hue colour atlas by Archroma as a wall-hung, flip-through display. A complete six-set Color Atlas - featuring an easy-to-use system of detachable fabric swatches - has also been donated to the lab, which students use to select hues for their design projects.
