The 2-Day Dewey Certified Color Consultant Course is a certification program based on the Dewey Color System that does ensures that the designer s color recommendations will create an environment that really takes into account the client and their color sensibilities. The Dewey Color System, the world s first scientifically validated color test, has been compared favorably in scientific journals to the Strong Interest Inventory and other psychological testing instruments. We Make Color Easy has taken the principles of the Dewey System and, with the assistance of experienced design professionals from across North America, created a training course that makes color recommendations easy.
