MINNEAPOLIS – The Valspar Corp. is offering “Color Matters: The Relationship Between Color and Pigments in Architectural Coatings,” a new continuing education course.

“The perception of color is informed by a culture and its symbolism, from food and fashion to the landscape, structures, raw materials and light. Color forecasting identifies the newest trends in color that are drawn from these underlying influences and provides an ongoing resource of inspiration for designers and architects,” said James Sherwood, Valspar’s Architectural Business Development Manager. “We are excited to share this course with the architectural community as it demonstrates the importance of color in the built environment, not only in specific industries and building types, but also to the people who benefit from these colorful spaces.”
