By working with this series of activities, students familiarize themselves with the perceptual structure of the RGB Color Cube. Based on the Web Color Look Up Table (CLUT) students generate color palettes based on perceptual structures of the RGB color cube and propose new ways to visually organize computer based colors.

Activity 1: Six plates based on the CLUT
Based on the Macintosh Web Color Lookup Table (CLUT), reconstruct six predetermined possible arrangements of the CLUT.

Activity 2: "Slide-tray" view of the RGB Cube
Based on previous six possible arrangements of the CLUT, construct a slide tray view of the RGB Color Cube.

Activity 3: Four predetermined side-views of the RGB Cube
Based on the slide tray view of the RGB Color Cube, create 4 predetermined side-views of the RGB Color Cube and an illustration of its exterior (3D representation).

Activity 4: Problem-solving Activity 1
Construct at least two color palettes based on the geometric structures of the RGB Color Cube.

Activity 5: Planar View of the RGB Cube
Based on geometry principles, propose and produce a possible planar view of the RGB color Cube.

Activity 6: Construction of an additive color wheel
Based on the RGB Color Cube, create an additive color wheel.

Activity 7: Visual Analysis of the RGB Cube: Questionnaire!
This activity is based on several sub-activities that will guide you through the perceptual structure of the RGB cube and its association with standard color schemes.

Activity 8 - Problem-Solving Activity 2
Color Palette Generation: This activity asks students to propose new ways to visually organize the colors of the web color lookup table. Below are examples of color palettes created by students:
