Abstract

Color selection is one of the key areas of interior design. The coloring is an art that has its aesthetic moods, criteria, and applications, in addition to its different contrasting functions. At the same time, color has its pure scientific origins and rules that are closely linked to light. Lighting has its critical importance in hospitals. A sufficient level of daylight is essential to carry out the necessary tasks. Carefully designed day lighting can transform the appearance of the ward and make it attractive, welcoming and even calming.
The cost of patient treatment and hospital staff operating is considerable; therefore, measures to maximize performance through improved environments and saving energy by using sustainability principles in day lighting will be cost-effective.
The primary objective of this research is to discuss the relationship between architectural elements coloring like (walls, floor, ceiling and furniture colors) and daylight intensity using computer-based building performance simulation (BPS) tools to create comparable varieties in mental hospital wards.
The results of the study were figuring the optimum coloring for each architectural element based on the optimum daylight intensity while seeking to achieve sustainability into mental hospital wards
