This membership represents a landmark for our participation in an international forum where the exchanges of ideas allow for the process of transmutation of the state of knowledge on colour to take place. At this larger scale of interaction, we hope to contribute positively to the development of research, educational background and communication of the phenomenon that brought us together. On behalf of the Portuguese Colour Association I would like to extend my gratitude to all Executive Committee members for the words with which you welcomed our association as a new member of the International Colour Association during the Executive Committee meeting held at the AIC05 Congress in Granada. In the various phases required to join the International Colour Association, President Paula Alessi shared her enthusiasm with us and in her words we found a source of encouragement : to the President of the AIC we wish to express our most sincere appreciation and recognition. Yours sincerely, Maria João Durão President of the Portuguese Colour Association
