The author of this project wants to develop visuality studies in political journalism, with particular emphasis on the color effects. The work purposes to deep the studies of color in different areas, emphasizing the cultural and the interdisciplinary nature of the shades, with an approach that goes beyond the conceptuals visions of color definition parameters, reaching its readers perception and interpretation, through the explanation of syntactic and semantic relations, proper of a communicably use.
