ESTIMATION OF COLORS IN STREETSCAPES : Relationships between estimation of visual unity and changes in range of basic colors and point colors in building facades

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clarify relationships between estimation and color composition in streetscapes regarding the range of basic and point colors in a collection of building walls. In the first experiment, building colors were gradually changed to determine the effect of basic color ranges on estimation. In the second, the color of a particular building was gradually changed to investigate the effect of the change in color. The basic color ranges which cause visual unity are hue 5R-5Y, value 7-9, and chroma 1-3. The range of acceptable point color variance is wide in the case of value.
