Color theory and how it's applied in architecture

Abstract

So how does color in architecture affect us? While color is subjective, it is one of the oldest design elements of architecture and deeply affects how people respond to their surroundings. Color in the workplace and community Biophilic design has been relying on color theory and the emotions it evokes by connecting people to their outside environment. Such design uses not only plant material but also green hues on the color chart. Green is the color most used in nature and why we call it the Green Movement. Further, Le Corbusier, a great pioneer of the Modernist movement, created a color chart with 63 colors that can be used in any combination. The building offers affordable and sustainable housing to its renters, eschewing any references to low-income accommodations with its forward-thinking design and use of color. Depending on the zone the building is in, the use of color can reduce the building's carbon footprint.
