1) Architectural Color

- Colors are responsible for a wide range of mental

enhancements, the most of which are unconscious. Color has a
strong influence on those who see it, and this is no different in
the world of building. Colors in architecture can have a positive
or bad impact on us, and they serve a purpose that is just as
significant as the structural parts that make up an architectural
work.

2) Color Basic
- A color wheel is a representation of color hues in a circle.
It demonstrates color temperature by demonstrating the
correlations between primary, secondary, and
intermediate/tertiary hues. Hex codes are used by digital
teams to express specific colors.

Many color wheels are shown using 12 colors.  Using this

color wheel as an example, it can be read as follows:

 Three Primary Colors (Ps): Red, Yellow, Blue

 Three Secondary Colors (S’): Orange, Green, Violet
 Six Tertiary Colors (Ts):  Red-Orange, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green, Blue-Green, Blue-Violet, Red-
Violet, which are formed by mixing a primary with a secondary

3) Color Identification System and Color Schemes

a) Color Identification System

- Scientists and artists employ very distinct color systems. To make a
tint of green, an artist will mix blue and yellow paint; to make
yellow, a scientist will combine green and red light. Another
system is the printed page of a magazine. As a first step in
comprehending color systems, it's critical to define the two types
of color we see in the world.

2 Color Systems (RGB and CMYK)

 Red – Green – Blue (RGB)

- refers to three separates light colors that can be blended to make new colors. The conventional
method of producing color images on screens, such as TVs, computer monitors, and smartphone
screens, is to combine red, green, and blue light. An "additive" color model is the RGB color model.
 White light is created when 100 percent of each color is combined together. No light is produced
when 0% of each color is mixed, resulting in black.

 Cyan – Magenta – Yellow – Black (CMYK)

- is a subtractive color model for color printing that is based on the
CMY color model. It is also used to describe the printing process.
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and key are the four ink plates used in
certain color printing (black). The CMYK model masks colors on a
lighter, usually white, backdrop partially or completely. Light that
might normally be reflected is reduced by the ink. Because inks
"subtract" the colors red, green, and blue from white light, this
paradigm is called subtractive. White light with red leaves turned
cyan, green leaves turned magenta, and blue foliage turned
yellow.

b) Color Schemes
- is a color combination used in a variety of design
fields, including fine art, interior design, and
graphic design. Each color scheme is made up of
one or more of the color wheel's twelve hues. You
may construct an infinite color palette to utilize in
any composition by combining different hues.
Using color theory and color psychology, different
color combinations create different moods or
tones.

There are 4 types of color schemes:

 Monochromatic Color Scheme

- Concentrate on a single color, frequently
adding tints, tones, and hues to create
variations of one hue. That single color evolves
into a full palette with varied degrees of value
by adding touches of white, grey, or black.
These tints, tones, and hues add highlights and
shadows to an otherwise bland color scheme.
 Complementary Color Scheme
- reside on different sides of the color wheel; one is
usually a primary color, while the other is usually a
secondary color. Blue and orange, red and green,
and yellow and purple are the most common
complimentary colors.

 Analogous Color Scheme

- Within the color wheel, a group of three hues that
border each other. This color scheme starts with a
base color and then adds two complementary colors.
Because the word "analogous" implies "closely
related," this color combination has a harmonic
appeal akin to monochromatic color schemes.

 Triadic Color Scheme

- consists of three colors on the color wheel that are
equidistant from each other, making a triangle as
seen below. Three main, secondary, or tertiary colors
can be used in a triadic color scheme. Blue, red, and
yellow, or violet, green, and orange, are common
triadic palettes.

4) Color illusions and advance scheme principles

 Color illusions
- are visuals in which the surrounding colors deceive the human
eye into interpreting color incorrectly. You might want to cover
some of the optical illusions with your hand to avoid being
distracted by the others. You may also use an online color
picker to make sure the colors are the same.
Darker or lighter?: When surrounded by a lighter grey,
the grey dot appears larger, and when surrounded by a
darker grey, it appears smaller. To express this in an
interior perspective, black walls with a white ceiling will
give the impression that the walls are approaching you.

Is it the same or different? : Without getting too

technical, when two colours are placed near to

each other and light, either natural or artificial, is
added, they reflect into one other and begin to absorb
the connecting color. You're aware of the issue;
you've brought it up. After you've completed painting
the room and reinstalled your reddish sofa, the
color of the walls changes dramatically. Remember to
keep this in mind when picking wall colors in relation
to your furnishings; it's more than just a matter of generating a color pallete.

Close or Distant?: Apart from the extremes of white or midnight blue, this is the most prevalent trick:
brighter walls open up and retreat while darker walls close in and advance. You may achieve the similar
appearance by experimenting with color, its tones, and various paint treatments or finishes.

Small Spaces

- Cool and lighter colors and tones, such as

blues and green, create the illusion of
receding walls. Low contrast combinations
will give the impression of space. Even with
warm colors, pale tones will visually open up
a space. Painting the ceiling, walls, and
architectural details in the same color will
create a cohesive appearance and reduce
fussiness. This method also works if the
ceiling is too high and you wish to lower it.
Large Spaces

- Warm colors like browns, reds, and oranges make the walls
appear to be moving forward or getting closer than they actually
are. Warmer colors make the space feel cozier and more
personal. Tone (the addition of grey to a colour) can be utilized
to alter or enhance the desired effect.

High Spaces

- A ceiling painted in a darker tone than the walls appear lower

and cozier. If you treat the floor the same manner, the room will
appear squished between the ceiling and the floor. This may
appear to be a bad move, but it will effectively only seal the room
in aesthetically.

Low Spaces

- Walls that are darker than the ceiling will appear

to be taller. The reflected nature of a gloss finish
on the ceiling will provide the impression of
infinite space. Gloss also reflects light across the
space. Try semi-gloss if gloss is too much for you.
Note that shine will reveal all flaws in the surface
ceiling or wall.
Narrow Spaces

- Visually pushing out the walls vertically by adorning them will

make a long, narrow hall or entryway feel less contained. Pale
colors will bounce light around since they are light colors.
Another method is to paint the shorter ones first. A darker color
on the end wall will re-proportion and shrink a long, narrow
space.
