Presented by: Cloverdale Paint & Farrell Callhoun Paint

Date: June 10 2026

Time: 10AM/PDT or 1PM EDT

Location: ONLINE (ZOOM)

Cloverdale Paint is proud to present our second accredited CEU  course for 2026 delivered by the talented Fawn Chang.  

Please join us for this exciting Webinar.  Take an hour of your day to dive deep into neuroscience of the perception of colour.

Unlike conventional biophilia or color theory courses that focus primarily on natural hues such as greens, blues, and browns, this course demonstrates how all colors function as biological and environmental signals processed by the nervous system.

Drawing on research from environmental psychology and neuroscience, the course examines how chromatic conditions affect orientation, fatigue, stress load, and psychological resilience. It further explores how poorly calibrated color environments can contribute to disorientation, sensory overload, reduced performance, and long-term mental strain. The course also addresses welfare outcomes through instruction on integrating color with biophilic and Gestalt design principles to improve spatial legibility, reduce cognitive load, support visual comfort, and enhance occupant functioning in every built environment where humans work, learn, live and socialize. 

Time Conflict? To have this presented privately for your firm or group, please contact Fawn@FawnChang.com and we'll make it happen.
