Role Of Color In Architecture

Colors and their perceptions are responsible for a series of conscious and subconscious stimuli in our psycho spatial relationship. Color can be associated with psychology and symbolism, colors take on different meanings according to the artistic, historical or the cultural period, colors change when facing light, among many other characteristics.

If we create an environment with walls, floors, and neutral ceilings, when we apply certain colors on the different surfaces, we get different visual effects. For example, white color on walls makes the space look bigger.

Therefore, color is intimately linked to psychological stimuli and can be used in conjunction with volume and the shape of each project.
