The Colour Perception – In an Indoor & Outdoor Architectural Environment

Colour is considered an integral element for an indoor and outdoor environment. It is an essential element of our environmental experience and visual perception. It is often connected to, stimulated by, light in the natural or human design environment and accompanies us in different visible ways. They are the substance of how we experience the surroundings, as humans are the centre of concern in designing the architectural environment. It affects individuals differently based upon their age, gender, culture and other biological factors. Colour is a universal visual language appreciated by all. The aim is to utilise colour as an expressive component to emphasise the building character and create unity and harmony.
