Color Web Sites for Young Kids
Make a Splash with Color San Jose's The Tech Museum has a nifty online exhibit about color. You'll learn how to describe a color based on its hue, saturation, and brightness. As they explain it, hue helps you tell which bananas in the bunch are ripe. Saturation is the color difference between your chocolate milk and your sister's. And brightness tells us the difference between plain white bread and burnt toast.

Carmine's Introduction to Color It doesn't matter whether you're picking up crayons for the first time or you're a portrait painting pro, you will find something of interest at this Web page. Explore color mixing and matching activities and learn how the "mood" of a painting changes if you magically switch to different colors. Learn about proportions and portrait techniques. Little children will enjoy Carmine's color wheel game, while bigger ones (and adults, too) will be fascinated with chasing down the evil Dr. Gray and his Dechromatizers!
