The Sessions Colour Calculator is an interactive colour wheel that helps designers select HTML, RGB, or CMYK colours and identifies colour harmonies and schemes. Our Colour Wheel works faster than any other colour wheel or html colour chart.
Designers may save HTML safe colour values, CMYK color schemes, or RGB colours to an integrated clipboard and email the colours to colleagues or clients. You can also rotate shapes on the colour wheel to identify harmonious color schemes, adjust the saturation and lightness of colours, or select a colour plan to use for a corporate identity or design project.
Colours may be selected and applied to both print and Web design – the Sessions color wheel color calculator saves hours of work. A color scheme can be further refined by choosing different designs or patterns with different complexity levels.
For a thorough examination of Colour, its systems, interactions and how to advantageously use this knowledge in art and design, please see Colour Theory.


Ecotones: Mitigating NYC’s Contentious Sites
Given the global and local challenges of climate change, the Landscape Architecture profession is at the forefront of New York City’s sustainability efforts.
Collaborating with governments, regulatory agencies, community groups, and design professionals, Landscape Architects are transforming ecological problems into opportunities for habitation and recreation.
With Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s sustainability plan, plaNYC, in place, the challenge is to understand the interconnectedness of the City’s green spaces.
Ecotones are transition zones between adjacent ecosystems.
In urban environments they emerge as contentious sites located between disparate or opposing forces: where industry meets the river; where community and industrial uses collide; where public and private interests merge.
These areas are often the unconsidered result of infrastructure improvements and building developments yet have the potential to be cultural and ecological mitigators.
The projects in this exhibition show us how sustainable practices, specifically, the collecting, cleansing, and reclaiming of water, can be used to mediate conflicting circumstances, integrating technical solutions with the social and cultural considerations that make for vibrant urban spaces.
