Abstract

This study addresses the various aspects of the reciprocal relationship between colors and society, whether in cultural, social, or other aspects. It also explores different forms of expression through colors and reviews key studies and methodologies previously followed to improve the color design of urban and architectural spaces alike.





It aims to clarify and understand the importance of color design, and to highlight the significance of colors in enhancing design efficiency and consequently the functional efficiency of these spaces, while documenting and analyzing the psychological and physiological effects of colors on the user, and in turn, on improving the urban environment.





The topic is approached from a different perspective: studying the color design of urban space. The study focuses on the research axes represented in urban space and colors, then the reciprocal relationship between them and its impact on design efficiency and space functionality, and consequently on the user. Furthermore, selected projects are examined for their applicability in the contemporary Egyptian context, through observation, analysis, and evaluation based on the proposed methodology for case study assessment.





Finally, a set of recommendations is reached, highlighting the importance of colors in various urban spaces.

By adopting color theory in the design of urban spaces to ensure the harmony of colors with each other, and a set of executive recommendations for new projects is put forward.



These ideas can be integrated into the research to provide a comprehensive guide or practical methodology for designing urban spaces with colors, thereby contributing to their improvement
