I would have thought that basic colour names would have limited value at this
level. While red, green, blue, etc might help a young child it's not much
good for graduate study. I would suggest that working with colour pallette
numbers would be more useful.
However, the screen colour will not be the same shade as the printed colour
due to differences in the way colour is generated on screen and paper and
also differences in inks and printers. As he is doing time based art work
this may not be relevant.

<< I assessed a student last week who is coloured blind, but is also
studying a time-based art course. He thought he had heard about a
software program that informs you of the colour when the mouse pointer
moved over it, by displaying the colour name in a popup box. I am
wondering if anybody had heard of this software, he thought it was
called "What Colour" but was not sure. If not, does anybody know of
anything that might support him with this problem please?
He currently gets people to describe to him the colours and the mood
that pictures portray and I suggested that he may need to try and used
Photoshop by learning to be aware of the palette numbers and range of
numbers for types of colours, rather than by visually discerning their
differences and the mood that they give. I do not know if it makes any
sense but it seemed plausible advice when I spoke to him.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received. >>
