Grace- Sorry I missed your comment until now. I did a quick google search and found a couple of possible sources for you: http://aic-colour-journal.org/index.php/JAIC/article/viewFile/32/28 http://webdesign.about.com/od/colorcharts/l/bl_colorculture.htm
I would try contacting the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council (NATSICC) to see if they can give you contact info for Duwun Lee.

I hope this helps.
I would like to use this image by Duwun Lee for the cover of the Christmas edition of our parish magazine. Who may I contact to get such permission?
