Abstract
With this contribution to CA2RE Aarhus 2023, I present the ’Archive of Beautiful Colours’ which was created as part of an experiment on personal colour preferences in the PhD project: Exploring an experimental and material-based colour design practice. The purpose of the archive is to bring to light the diversity of colour preferences and hence the possible absurdity of trying to define an objective colour harmony as has been attempted by for example Johannes Itten. The archive does not attempt to ‘objectively verify’ the previous artistic work of the experiment ‘Personal Colour’, but aims to magnify the impact of personal colour preferences and transform subjectivity to inter-subjectivity. The archive is presented by a short autoethnographic text unpicking one of the mythologies of colour harmony.
