RGB Cube Hands On Activity
This is fun activity to introduce students to the RGB color model using a hands-on method.
By working with this series of activities, students familiarize themselves with the perceptual structure of the RGB Color Cube. Based on a standard color swatch palettes students generate color palettes based on perceptual structures of the RGB color cube.
To wrap up this projects students are asked to create a new configuration for the color swatches in a way that makes RGB colors make sense to them, consequently proposing new ways to visually organize computer based colors.

RGB Color Cube Hands-on Visualization Process
Activity 1: Six plates based on the CLUT
Based on the standard color swatch palette, reconstruct six predetermined possible arrangements of the palette .
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:
