Colour is an essential part of our existence. This is true for both man-made architectural and natural environments. We perceive the environment and the colours in it. From there, the brain processes what it sees and judges it. The brain does this on a subjective and objective basis. The colours can have a significant impact on our psyche. As a result it is vital to consider which ones to use on a project.

Studies and observations

In the previous 11 decades, several scientific studies and empirical observations have taken place. They prove that the human-environment reaction in architecture is due to a sensory recognition of colour. It is to a large extent at least. To summarise, they found that our response to colour is complete. It impacts us physiologically and psychologically.

How do we relate to colour?

People also have their own personal relations to colour. These can vary considerably. It is an area that designers don’t have much control over. Younger people tend to favour primary colours and ones that are more saturated. As for older demographics, they are more likely to go for subdued and less saturated shades. You can also apply this logic to extroverts and introverts.
