The conference was founded in the School of Critical Studies at Glasgow University by Dr Carole Biggam and the late Professor Christian Kay, and was held there in 2004, 2008 and 2012. This year we have the privilege of hosting the event at University College London (UCL), and we aim to maintain the conference’s great tradition of multidisciplinarity and scholarship. Because of its origin, PICS has always been orientated towards colour systems in language, linguistics and philosophy, and this year the same themes continue to be strong. In addition we have sessions on colour in perception, imaging and design, showing the pervasive diversity of interests in colour research and application. It all seems to bear out Ruskin’s assertion that “The purest and most thoughtful minds are those which love colour the most.” During these three days of the PICS conference we want to encourage curiosity about all aspects of colour, and therefore in the structuring of the single‐track sessions many opportunities have been provided for reflection and debate. Oral presentations are restricted to 15 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes allocated to questions and discussion. A different set of no more than 10 posters is scheduled for each day, so that presenters can explain properly their approaches. We have an outstanding programme with four distinguished keynote speakers and many expert participants who are highly regarded in their disciplines.
