The current study was prepared on the basis that color is one of the most important visual elements of the creativity of the artistic work due to its role in highlighting aesthetic and expressive values with the diversity of its color relations as well as its ability to show ideas and to increase attention, in addition to the use of color to show form and to increase motivation for learning. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a proposed program based on Johannes Itten’s theory of color to teach color to the students of the Faculty of Early Childhood Education in the development of their color culture. The material and instruments of the study included a proposed program based only on watercolors, in addition to a performance scale for color culture. The sample of the study consisted of (30) students of the third year at the Faculty of Early Childhood Education. The study findings showed that there are statistically significant differences between the mean scores obtained by the study participants on the pre and post administrations of the performance scale of color culture in favor of the post-administration. Thus, the present study proved the effectiveness of the proposed program in the development of the color culture among the student-teacher at the Faculty of Early Childhood Education.
