Farbe und Umwelt

English translation: systematic composition with ambient colour

Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
German term or phrase: Farbe und Umwelt
IACC International Association of Colour Consultants
sponsored ein Seminar, u.a.
"Systematisches Gestalten mit Farbe in der Umwelt"

I believe that this is AMBIENCE rather than ENVIRONMENT which is such an abused word these days. My
temporary rendition is "systematic composing with color in the ambience".
Any takers or proponents of a better solution? Thanks.
