“…It is widely believed that, in urban environments buildings have to be in harmony with each other (Ünver & Dokuzer, 2002) Color theorists and practioners showed great interest in laws of color harmony (Sivik & Hard, 1994;O'Connor, 2010). Theory and research showed that analogous and complementary colors could produce color harmony.…”

Preference for 'color combinations' have received remarkably little empirical attention and no study compared people's responses to 'abstract color combinations' and 'color combinations in urban settings' . This study aims to fill this gap and focuses on color combinations rather than isolated colors. 22 color compositions (11 abstract graphics + 11 simulated urban settings) were created. Color compositions included analogous and complementary hues, warm and cool hues, low (5 hues) and high (10 or 11 hues) diversity color compositions. 104 participant evaluated color compositions for (1) arousal, (2) naturalness, (3) relaxation and preference for various objects and settings including (4) clothing, (5) bathroom walls, (6) mall indoors, (7) restaurant indoors, (8) house indoors, (9) building exteriors and (10) any type of object, using a 7-point bipolar scale. The results showed that; (1) color compositions of abstract graphics and pictures of simulated urban settings were rated similarly for ratings of naturalness and preference for any type of object and setting, (2) low and high diversity color compositions were rated similarly for all scales except preference for house indoors, (3) analogous and complementary color compositions were rated similarly for all scales except preference for clothing, (4) warm and cool color compositions were rated similarly for all scales except preference for bathroom walls. The applied value of these results and areas for future research are discussed.

“…Color is considered a key factor for environment amenities and design . Color is often used to connect facilities with an environment, to reduce the contrast and differences in design, to enhance building characteristics, and to cover a building's shortcomings . As Foote indicated, façade color is usually treated as the symbol of the building.…”

Many studies have demonstrated that people associate customary colors to buildings and facilities, and these colors significantly influence people's evaluations of the environment. However, whether customary colors also exist in the environments where building facilities have been installed is rarely discussed. Using correspondence analysis, this study explored the colors associated with five different outdoor recreational spaces (theme parks, national parks, recreational farms, riverside parks, and historic heritage sites) and fitted facility colors. The study acquired a valid sample of 103 college students and demonstrated that people judge colors in recreational spaces according to past experience and their impressions of the spaces. Hue, value, and saturation are not independent factors for color consideration; a color with a specific value and saturation is particularly suitable for some spaces. In addition, the color associated with an environment and the compatible color for facilities are not exactly the same. The possible factors that influence different environment colors and future research directions were also discussed. V C 2015

“…Choosing isolated colour samples from various catalogues, developing abstract colour graphics for initial colour decisions and then elaborating on these decisions through various drawings and models seem to be the most common approach to the colour design process. [2][3][4] Each of these visualization techniques is progressively used by the participants in the design as a communication medium throughout the process. Hence, corroboration between the different visualization techniques is essential to a reliable colour design method.…”

“…In design itself, simplifications and abstractions are widely used both in design education and by professionals. Choosing isolated colour samples from various catalogues, developing abstract colour graphics for initial colour decisions and then elaborating on these decisions through various drawings and models seem to be the most common approach to the colour design process 2–4. Each of these visualization techniques is progressively used by the participants in the design as a communication medium throughout the process.…”

The architectural colour design process: An evaluation of sequential media via semantic ratings

In recent studies, contextual situations of applied colours are compared to colours presented as samples or chips. Findings of such studies point out different results in terms of similarities or differences between the evaluations of isolated/abstract colours and contextualized situations. Architectural and spatial contexts have their own characteristics regarding colouring criteria, so it is of great importance to examine the architectural/spatial colouring process from this point of view. This study explores this process by investigating the consistency of semantic ratings of four sequential stages of the architectural colour design process, namely, colour chips/samples, abstract compositions, perspective drawings and 3D models. The architectural context for the study was a simple interior space. Fifteen different colour schemes were applied on the four media representing the stages. Subjects rated the 15 sets against seven bipolar, five-step semantic differential scales. The scales consisted of harmonious-discord, pleasant-unpleasant, comfortableuncomfortable, spacious-confined, static-dynamic, exciting-calming and extroverted-introverted. Findings indicated that there are significant associations between the evaluations of the abstract compositions, the perspective drawings and the 3D models; however, the evaluations of colour chips are significantly different than the others. The medium effect observed mostly between abstract and contextualized media. Additionally, factor analysis showed that pleasantness, harmony, spaciousness and comfort are connected in the evaluations of contextual situations, while pleasantness and harmony differ from spaciousness and comfort in the evaluations of colour chips and abstract compositions. The factor of activity (arousal) (dynamism, excitement, and extroversion) stays the same for all four media. It is also found that different colour characteristics are determinative over different media.
