In Brazilian Elementary School and Middle School, color is treated with less importance when compared to other contents of the Art curriculum, which contributes to the perpetuation of the conceptual problems of color education. The teaching practice with regard to color education has demonstrated that practical exercises of investigation and chromatic analysis, based on the Munsell system, is an important pedagogical resource, specifically for teaching basic concepts of color theory. Because, without understanding these concepts there is no way to advance the study of important content for Technical, Undergraduate, and Graduate courses in Art and Design, such as color systems and colorimetry.
