As a powerful means of expression, colors have been an influential visual factor throughout human history not only in the field of arts, but also in general aspects of cultural, social and even political life. Color is being used in various modes and retained it's significance throughout all human ages. Colors possess a communicative quality which arises from their inherent ability for expression and affection. As fundamental component of visual arts, color has been used by artists as both an aesthetical and expressional means. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the perception-interpretation of colors and the state of education in arts and design. The study has found that individuals with a higher level of theoretical knowledge on colors have a much more accurate perception of particularly the secondary colors than individuals without this level of education. Significant difference in the interpretation of the primary colors has not been found. The sample of the study consisted of 460 students of the Selcuk University.
