Properties of QCD which lead to presence of color transparency and color fluctuations phenomena are summarized and current observations of these phenomena at fixed target and HERA energies are reviewed. We argue that further studies of color transparency and color coherence phenomena using lepton and hadron projectiles at fixed target energies will provide new ways for probing space-time evolution of strong interactions, dynamics of two body hard processes, and generalized parton distributions of photons and hadrons. Examples of processes which could be studied using COMPASS and PANDA experiments are presented.
