Abstract: The paper deals with different modes of appearance of color, how hu-
mans perceive and recognize space, and Gestalt Theories or theories of form, in
relation to color. This section of Document also shows a notion of how a spatial
context deals with Colour and the color palate of Art movement s and Architec-
ture of ‘Modernism’.
Keywords: Colour; Human Perception; Modernism
Color constitutes one in all the foremost important properties of the visual im-
pression of the physical or virtual objects.
Perceiving the color of the physical objects provides the observers, not solely to
sense the pleasure of the variations however conjointly to induce the information
regarding their surroundings.
Consequently, this insensitive approach causes color pollution rather than making
a harmonious color scheme, significantly within the developing cities. Being im-
pressed by nature; personalities, particularly in visual arts, have utilized these
properties of color to precise themselves.
2. Abstract
The expedition of analysis started with an issue, Why some buildings charm and
impact over others? The understanding lies not are barely the visual, or the useful
or the spatial. It’s the expertise the foremost encompassing of the tip result that
matters within the matters within the engineered atmosphere.
Colour is a vital part of attitude towards Architecture. The human eye first per-
ceives motion, brightness, color and then form. Everything we see is perceived
from Light, Color and Form. This paper will balance that light; form and color are 3
equal tools that are available to the architect in shaping architecture, while specif-
ically focusing on color in relation to spatial context.

5. Scope
What are the relatable ideologies revolving around art movements and its out-
comes on design? Philosophical background associated with the colour palate of a
movement. Why bound components were emphasized more? What was its im-
portance?
6. Methodology
The sample is based on an examination of the specific cases which show the
main characteristics of the subject selected. The research explores how the
color meaning as a physical attribute shifts when it enters a three dimensional
space.
The analysis further aims at the physical peculiarities of the color that can be
articulated by the architects on the space, assuming that colour is one of the
most essential instruments for achievement of this.
This paper also analyzes how to use the color, especially in relation to im-
portant aspects of the movement of architecture in 20th century, of the envi-
ronment as a predictor of design ideas.

7. Assumptions and Limitations
This thesis helps in seeking the concept of color used in architecture to express or
emphasize architectural thinking; it must focus on the human perception of archi-
tectural objects in the design discourse of their time. In view of the fact that the
design approach of human perception of color in a built environment other than
contemporary architectural discourse cannot be considered, the study prefers
parallel reading techniques. This methodology must be analyzed on a comparative
basis with regard to the tastes of the architects for color, as well as the debate on
contemporary design.
In order to provide a conceptual framework for the use of color on the built envi-
ronment, this analysis focuses on representations of the architectural end-
products of the 19th century discourse. One of the main reasons for this decision
is the change in the function and meaning of the shell of this time's three-
dimensional architectural objects.
