The exhibition 17/71 with the theme ” Goresan Juang Kemerdekaan” or “The Scratch for Independent Struggles” was held from the 17th to the 30th of August 2016 at the Indonesian National Gallery in Jakarta. The showroom combined multiple visual elements, including shape, symbol, lines of narration, and color. The most influential element was the color management. The exhibition presented collections of Indonesian art paintings focusing on the Indonesian struggle for independence, and included paintings from Indonesian artists as well as foreign contributions. This paper offers an overview of the effectiveness and contribution to the overall appeal of the exhibition of the colour management techniques. The researcher used qualitative and semiotic methods to demonstrate that the meaning of color and its symbol of strength have become the potential reference for management of art objects collection in the showrooms.
