Welcome to the SDC
Imagine a world without colour. One where everything we see is grey.
Fortunately, for most people, this is not something we ever need to contemplate. Colour is such an essential and commonplace aspect of our lives that we often take it for granted: on clothing, in our homes, in the natural environment, and indeed wherever we see it in our everyday lives.
The Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) is one group that has never taken colour for granted. Since its beginnings in 1884 it has been active in developing understanding of colour and how colour is applied in industry. Nowadays it is involved a range of activities, including promoting colour education and the professional status of the colourist, developing new ideas and testing procedures for industry, communicating information on colour through publications and events, plus a whole lot more.
The purpose of this site is to provide a taster for the activities in which the SDC is involved, and the services that it provides to members and the coloration community at large.
The SDC truly is a society committed to 'advancing colour in a changing world'.
