Focusing on perception, historical transformations of colour, digital heritage design, and civic participation, the book introduces five key scenarios: from ancient polychrome sculpture and paintings to textiles, historical photographs, and digital—born artworks. Through these, it investigates how colour can be experienced, interpreted, and cared for in both physical and virtual spaces.

Combining scientific investigations and concept—oriented design, the volume presents new methodologies based on the concepts of care, authenticity, civic participation and accessibility. It is an essential resource for researchers, curators, designers, and all those engaged in the digital transformation of cultural heritage.
