The paper addresses the fundamental issues of theory, methodology, and practice in cultivating color perception as an essential component of professionalism among visual arts practitioners – artists and educators. Based on the analysis of works by scholars such as O. Bobyr, L. Gorbatenko, O. Kapran, I. Melnychuk, O. Muzyka, T. Panyok, V. Chervatyuk, Z. Shokirova, and A.

The focus is on one of the key tasks of professional ...
