Japanese Designers Create Nameless Paints To Change The Way Kids Learn Colors

Ima Moteki, a design duo in Japan, has just created a set of Nameless Paints that aim to completely change the way children learn and think about color. Instead of using color names, each white tube of paint is labelled with an “equation” showing which primary colors, and in what proportions, were used to make the color inside.
The “Nameless Paint” designers, Yusuke Imai and Ayami Moteki, believe that color labels are problematic. “By not assigning names to the colors we want to expand the definition of what a color can be, and the various shades they can create by mixing them,” said Imai.
In addition to rejecting labels, the paints also teach color theory. The equations on the paint tubes help children understand some of the basic concepts behind color theory and how to mix and create new colors.

I like that there are just four basic colours !
3 and they're primary colors...
Rafael is right, why downvoting him? Those paints are using CMYK color range, not RGB.
The color system is CMYK, not RGB, however there are no Blacks, so it IS 3 colors- Cyan, Magenta, Yellow- not 4.
Black to white is not color (including grey) those are value, one saying black is color definitely not designer
And they could be used no matter what language you speak (unless you are colorblind, or have poor or no eyesight ).
It is called creative learning - luv it!
