terms and conditions

Dear Friend, You are in the ColorsLab site (hereinafter referred to as the "Site") of Fabrica S.p.A. You can use this site to express your opinions, insert images, texts and videos (hereinafter referred to as "Contents") and interact with other persons and with the editorial staff.

COLORS is a quarterly magazine for young people worldwide, being distributed in more than 40 countries as well as published in 3 editions and 4 languages. It was established in 1991 under the guidance of Tibor Kalman, in the conviction that differences are positive and all cultures have an equal value.

COLORS relies mostly on the use of pictures as a universal means for reaching as many people as possible and having a strong and immediate impact on them.

Over the years COLORS has become a unique point of reference in the publishing industry around the world, drawing public attention to subject matters and arguments associated with parts of the world that other publications rarely deal with.
