In architecture, color selection is crucial and demands careful consideration.
To choose colors that are acceptable both aesthetically and functionally, architects need to have a solid understanding of color theory.
The three fundamental principles of color are saturation, brightness, and hue.
Hue defines a color’s red, blue, etc., whereas brightness describes how light or dark a color is, and saturation describes how pure or gray a color is. In architectural designs, color contrasts such as complimentary, warm-cold, brightness, and saturation contrasts can be employed to produce tension and visual appeal.
Comprehending the fundamentals of color science enables architects to skillfully use color into their designs.
