RE: Color Perception in Architecture

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

That is why color design is not limited to decorations on the architectural setting, but it helps set the mood of the living space.

I guess this is why we all have our houses painted with the colors we like. In order to improve our mood and that of the living space.

For example, blue light reduces our melatonin synthesis that is why we are awake even at night.

Oops, now I understand why I am not always able to sleep whenever I visit a friend of mine whose house is painted blue. I usually thought it was because my body wasn't familiar with the place, but now I know it's the color, blue.

On the other hand, yellow is dependably brilliant and bright. It suits well children's places such as daycares and kindergartens. It gives off a welcoming and whimsical experience.

Someone told me once that the color yellow makes people hungry, and I was shocked because I had this place, I was learning ICT, and the entire office was painted yellow. My God! I am always terribly hungry. Once that person told me that theory, I understood why

Red, orange, and yellow are food stimulants, which interior design in most restaurants used such colors. When we see yellow, our brain secretes serotonin in anticipation of our food.

Oh, this is exactly what I said above, it is no doubt that yellow is associated with food.

We know that color has a huge emotional impact on both architectural interiors and exteriors. When architects and designers work with color, they carefully planned out the lighting, material, and design. Above all, colors do not exist without the presence of light. Hence each color has several emotions associated with it; we need a coherent and holistic design. It must not understimulate or overstimulate.

I hope that all architectures get to read this piece, it is educating , and I am sure, they will find it useful.

Our perception and sensory experience often plays a big role on how we lived our lives. As you have said, colors affects how you feel like at your friend house that makes you sleep well or the ICT room whom you felt being hungry. Colors indeed is not just decorations. By the way, I appreciate the kind words and your engagement to this article, @edystringz! Here is some !PIZZA and !LUV.
