The aim of this study is to give an overview about the phenomenon of human colour memory: the related concepts, methodology, experimental findings and their interpretation. The concept of “cognitive colour” is defined. The characteristics of short-term and long-term colour memory are discussed, including memory colour shifts. Psycho-physical experimental methods to quantify colour memory are described and some typical memory colour results are briefly presented and interpreted.
