Choice of color in architecture has an overwhelming effect on the way a building is perceived by those that view it, walk by it and occupy it each day. Numerous contemporary architects appear to view color as a distraction, preferring to focus on form, structure and program when conceptualizing their project. For them, the choice of exterior hue is a simple one \u2014 it is, quite literally, a black and white issue.<\/p>\n

For others though, color is held up as a design element of incredible significance, and science indicates these architects are justified in their thinking. In-depth studies on the psychological impact of color show that people are highly sensitive to the hue and saturation of their surroundings. For example, a swathe of blue might give rise to feelings of calmness and serenity, while a misuse of red might lead to feelings of anxiety or even panic.<\/p>\n

For architects, this raises the stakes: Their choice of color could make or break a project. Here, we present 72 buildings across nine color-coded collections, each of which possesses a hue or shade that impacts its occupants in a profound way. Take inspiration from this grand prismatic guide to architecture, and let us know which is your favorite over on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9 Scarlet Projects Making Us See Red<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Red is a dramatic color. Always eliciting a strong visceral response, we\u2019ve evolved to become alarmed when we see it, since its oldest association is with the natural hue of blood when it\u2019s outside the body. As such, red has been employed over time as the color of warning signs, stoplights and emergency response, and when used in architecture, it is often in the service of one of these goals.<\/p>\n

The importance of this association is not lost on architects who use it discriminately. As evidenced in these nine projects, it is exactly these subconscious attributes that make red a popular color to apply liberally in non-emergency settings. Whether helping a project stand out from its surroundings, or as a complement to them, it\u2019s impossible to divorce this color from its deeply reflexive meaning. These projects exhibit a wide range of scale, program and intent, but the attention-grabbing effect is always the same: If you make something red, people will notice.<\/p>\n

7 Uplifting Uses of Yellow in Architecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t make something yellow without causing a stir. Arguably the most intense color on the spectrum, almost any expanse of it commands attention and draws the eye. So what does it mean when this color is employed in architecture? Psychologically, yellow is often characterized as making people happy or invigorated and \u2014 whether the designer intended it to or not \u2014 it can underscore such notions for inhabitants when used in a building.<\/p>\n

These seven projects all feature noteworthy applications of yellow in their articulation. Typologies vary widely, but the effect this color choice has on a wide range of occupants illustrates striking similarities and contrasts. In all, these examples reinforce the notion that yellow exerts a powerful presence wherever it is used, and its implications should be considered carefully.<\/p>\n

The Natural Inclinations of 9 Truly Green Buildings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an unconscious inclination to associate the color green with balance and harmony, as well as with nature itself and, by extension, growth. As generally positive attributes, these qualities make green a popular choice in mainstream culture \u2013 a mere utterance of the word itself carries with it connotations of environmental stewardship and responsibility, a notion that greatly influences the way we react upon seeing it.<\/p>\n

These qualities can be especially helpful in a composition, used to emphasize or even manufacture a sense of balance and harmony in a work that may otherwise be lacking it. As these nine projects demonstrate, this color is often employed to invoke nature when it isn\u2019t there, or to tie together a disparate program or set of forms. These buildings serve as reminders that a design move as simple as color choice has fundamental implications for how a building is perceived, and should be held in equal regard to elements such as structure and form.<\/p>\n

8 Earth-Oriented Brown Buildings<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown is perhaps the color most taken for granted in architecture. Its use is pervasive, from the default appearance of wood to its role as an abundantly common exterior paint color in mass-produced suburban housing. We see brown everywhere, but rarely is it a feature. The projects in this collection make a prominent use of brown for an emphatic purpose, and in doing so bring the color\u2019s associations along with them. Similar to green in its allusions to nature, brown evokes the material of the earth itself: dirt.<\/p>\n

While a colored plant may grow from the ground, it\u2019s easy to distinguish the difference between the two because we\u2019re used to seeing leaves change color and die. But the brown of a hill, mountain or even a tree is clearly an extension of the ground, due to its apparent permanence. In this sense, brown is the truest earth tone of them all, gently reminding us of our inescapable relationship with the surface we live on. As a matter of color choice, these eight buildings do the same.<\/p>\n

8 Jet Black Buildings Conveying Powerful Prestige<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Black is a color with a very special presence in architecture. Besides defining the stereotypical manner of dress for architects (to the extent that someone has gone so far as to write\u00a0a book<\/a>\u00a0in an attempt to figure out why), it can have a powerful effect when used in actual architecture. The strength this effect has on building occupants cannot be understated.<\/p>\n

Relatively rare in large expanses as part of a building\u2019s design, black is notable for its associations with power, prestige and authority. With attendant notions of formality and respect, the subtle insinuations of black are impossible to miss when it defines a project. These eight examples typify exactly this, each of them featuring black to an overpowering degree.<\/p>\n

7 Opulent Instances of Purple Architecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps one of the least-used colors in building design, purple\u2019s power to influence lies in its well-known association with royalty. To the extent that it conveys notions of wealth, sophistication and privilege, it can be a powerful color choice even in small doses. With the ability to suggest a prestige in almost anything, purple, when used consciously, tends to suggest the traits it\u2019s associated with are for sale, or at least conditionally available to those who want them, depending on what sort of circumstances they\u2019re willing to accept.<\/p>\n

These seven projects all showcase the color in some form or another, either subtly or front-and-center. Equally noteworthy regardless of application, the desired intent between uses is quite similar: purple is employed to communicate opulence or exclusivity, and in many cases to stir a desire for such things.<\/p>\n

8 Vigorous Applications of Orange in Architecture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Orange is perhaps the most underrated color. Too subtle to be\u00a0associated with emergencies<\/a>, too dull to\u00a0make us happy<\/a>, this lone remaining \u201cwarm\u201d color\u2019s primary renown is the eponymous fruit \u2014 elsewhere it often fails to be taken seriously. No less attention-grabbing than red or yellow, however, orange\u2019s subconscious claims imbue it with a sense of life and vitality, and as such it can have a considerable effect in architecturally scaled applications.<\/p>\n

The projects in this collection all telegraph a sense of life and vitality to their occupants. Regardless of the intentions of the designer, this color\u2019s associations with life-lusting vigor are present wherever it is used. It may inspire strength or courage in the people who use these buildings \u2014 or at least get them thinking about it. In any case, the subconscious associations of color is something that building occupants pick up on, whether they realize it or not, and as evidenced here, orange is no exception.<\/p>\n

8 Cool Blue Projects With Tranquil Undertones<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When someone describes blue as a \u201ccool\u201d color, the term can have a wide range of meanings. With regards to literal color temperature, the inverse is actually true, as blue ranks highest on this scale relative to other colors. Most probably the association is rooted in a likeness to the color of the ocean, which may serve as a basis for how the color blue is understood in this collection: for its subconscious undertones of calmness and tranquility.<\/p>\n

Cross-cultural understandings of blue as a subdued, passive color ensures it will have a strong effect when used in architecture. These eight projects all feature blue extensively and, for better or worse, this choice sets the predominant mood for each. These examples are powerful illustrations of how color choice can affect a broad user base in a consistent manner \u2014 a move that, no matter how it is wielded, will almost always strengthen a particular understanding of that project in the collective unconscious.<\/p>\n

8 Clean and Clear Applications of White<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to think of a color (or shade) more strongly associated with cutting-edge architecture than white. A quick glance at leading design publications from the early days of Modernism up to this very moment quickly reveals the color as one of few consistent themes, so much so that a group of orthodox Modernists\u00a0even named themselves after it<\/a>. Architects have bathed their projects in white for decades in hopes of claiming the absolute purity it suggests for their own work \u2014 whether it be purity of form, function or ideology. As evidenced by these eight projects, this trend isn\u2019t going away any time soon. So perhaps it\u2019s worth taking a moment to ask:\u00a0Why white?<\/em><\/p>\n

Besides the color\u2019s widespread associations with the concept of purity, a more practical employment of white is in service of clarity, cleanliness and simplicity. White can disguise any number of formal gesticulations, pulling an otherwise unwieldy structure back down to earth; if used as a background color, it can be both beautiful and virtually invisible. The projects in this collection demonstrate a wide range of applications under this guise, ultimately suggesting that white\u2019s versatility may be the reason it remains a perennial favorite for architects around the world.<\/p>\n
